    Snow Basin, Needles Peak
    Milt P.

    This ski resort is a great balance of excellent trails for all abilities, terrain, lifts and food at a fair price. Lift ticket at $79.00 on line is very fair for amenities available here. Lodges are very clean, food is a good price for the amount you get. Apres ski in the Cinnabar with live band, great bar tender, cold draft choices was just the ticket! They offer an all day for $5.00 storage basket, not $5.00 each time! If it's windy on Strawberry lift, ski the mid-mountain, it's great. Needles to City Hill, Ease A Long to Bear Hollow to Steins or Becker Face are runs that stood out for us. Lodges are TOP LEVEL, with clean, well appointed bathrooms that have solid wooden walls for toilets! Great chandeliers and lighting! Lifties were friendly. DEFINITELY would go back here to ski again. Food at the Needles lodge was good, you got plenty of food for around $15.00. Tasty Chilli!

    This is one of the best ski resorts I've been to, though may not be ideal for beginners, as some of…read morethe blue runs feel tougher than black diamonds at smaller resorts. This was my first season skiing, and my first time here I made the mistake of going up Gadzoom and Little Cloud chairs and got cliffed out in Little Cloud Bowl with all the black diamonds. I wasn't going to call ski patrol to take me down in the basket like my friend did at the top of Gadzoom after having a panic attack, and slowly, tediously made my way down. It was quite the adventure, looking back. I couldn't believe how long it took and how much distance and vertical drop I covered to get to the bottom; the runs here are some of the longest I've been on. One benefit of this resort over Alta is not needing parking reservations during weekends, which saved my ski day one Saturday I tried going to Alta without a parking reservation, then had to come here after talking to the parking attendant there putting $250 tickets on cars without reservations. The skiable area is massive here as well, and there's a whole other skiable side of the mountain (Mineral Basin) with breathtaking views you get to by taking this conveyer belt thing through a secret mining tunnel. The hoards of snowboarders do cause way more lines and congestion here than Alta, and I had to wait in line for a while for the tram on a Saturday. Luckily I soon found the secret tunnel I won't disclose the location of, and was able to ski at Mineral Basin with no lines the rest of that day. There's a lot more moguls and worse snow coverage here than Alta as well, though this year was an extreme outlier and the worst snow year in 4+ decades. It's a shame the Ikon pass only has 7 days to split between here and Alta, as I used up most of my days at Alta and didn't get a chance to explore all the different areas of this vast resort this season.

    Snowbird has the greatest skiing on earth. I have been coming back every year since I first came,…read moreand fall in love again every time. Little cottonwood canyon receives (objectively) the highest quality snow in the world (And a lot of it!). Some of the hardest, gnarliest terrain in the world is found across the entire resort. Some of my favorite adolescent memories reside here, and snowbird will always hold a special place in my heart. I could go on and on about the endless pros and minimal cons, but I believe every passionate skier deserves to experience the magic of the Wasatch mountains for themselves... With this being said, snowbird is NOT a family friendly or beginner mountain. There are an extremely low number of beginner/intermediate trails, and even these can get bumped up...

    AMAZING SNOWMAKING & GROOMING EFFORTS! This has been a…read morebrutal winter for Sundance and all surrounding ski resorts around here. As a skier of over 50 years I just want to tip my hat to the quality of the ski experience that has been created week after week and all hours of the day and night by the snowmaking and grooming crew. It is obvious you have tried to provide the best possible ski experience at Sundance. I don't know how all of you have pulled this off but honestly after skiing other mountains I still think that the runs that are open at Sundance are of remarkably good quality even with an 18" base! Thank you for all your hard work and making the best out of a super tough situation. You obviously have a highly knowledgeable and effective crew!

    This place is Wonderful. My family and I had the honor and the blessing of spending our winter…read morebreak here at Sundance Resort. As soon as my family stepped into the resort, we were met by warm and kind people. Beginning at the front desk, there was complimentary teas and coffee that is offered. They will give you a pamphlet containing a map and all kinds of activities that you can explore at the resort. I appreciated the high quality paper material that this pamphlet was made of. Activities that we highly recommend you do not miss: the hot springs, morning yoga, skiing/snowboarding, hiking, and Sunday Brunch (especially if you are able to apply any resort credit to this). We appreciated the privileges and accesses that were offered for lodging guests. My family and I had booked this place with the points we received through a credit card. We were able to receive an upgrade for our stay due to this - so if you also have a travel package that can allow for this, please be sure to ask! Whatever help we needed whether it be in getting another bathroom robe or a ride to the ski school, the people here sincerely helped us without ever making us feel like a burden. I really want to acknowledge and thank all those who have contributed to making the magic happen here for our family to have a good time. The character of the people here is shown when they shovel the bunny hills for the kids and families. A wonderful place, we hope to be back again. Thank you all for our stay!
