Snowbasin Resort

As the weekend is coming closer, we are thrilled to announce a revamp of one of our bike trails that is accessible now! The Squirrel Downhill Bike Trail located near the base area has been revamped by our trail crew the last few weeks and you can now give it a try. You can access it just above the Wildcat Parking Lot and it flows down through the trees to come out near the bottom of the Earl’s Parking Lots.

This past winter our new access ski trail to Canyon Rim Parking went directly through a large portion of the old Squirrel downhill bike trail. So this spring our Trail Crew has been busy building two new sections of trails built to allow the Squirrel trail to reopen with a better flow. There is a new optional rock drop on the lower section of the trail, that will offer a more advanced route. The revamped Squirrel Trail is open for guests to enjoy and well marked. You can access it near the Wildcat Parking Lot. This is the first trail maintenance ever done with our new mini excavator and operator. With this trail revamped, we will continue to work on improving the biking experience around Snowbasin. In the next few weeks our team will be focusing on the upper Needles Trail as the snow melts before we open for biking for summer operations.

Remember Needles Gondola opens for summer operations on Saturday, June 12th.

Snowbasin Resort releases the schedules for its free summer music series, Blues, Brews & BBQ and SnowWiesn. Blues, Brews & BBQ will begin on August 1 with opening day music from Andy Frasco and Kris Lager, then an event each Sunday through Labor Day Sundays between September 12 and October 3. Events will run 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm on Sundays in conjunction with regular summer operations 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Music is brought to you by Mountain Town Music.

In addition, to live music, Earl’s Lodge will be serving a variety of delicious food options along with a great selection of local beers on tap. Guests can enjoy a morning hiking or biking and spend the afternoon listening to free live music in the mountains. Both adults and children will be able to test their skills at the Wildflower Mini Golf Course and if you have a 21-22 Premier Season Pass, you can enjoy unlimited access to Needles Gondola. Season Passes for next winter are on sale now.

Commemorative mugs will be sponsored by Roosters Brewing and available for purchase, where guests can refill the mug during the 2021 concert series. Snowbasin and Roosters are looking forward to collaborating on a SnowWiesn beer that will debut at the start of the festival.

“We’re thrilled to bring back our local’s favorite summer concert series with 10 exciting events scheduled”, said Alan Dickerson, Director of Food and Beverage. “Each Sunday starting in August, we’ll welcome guests with free live music and great food and drink offerings at our outdoor festivals. We hope you’ll join us and experience the year-round beauty at Snowbasin.”

Today, Snowbasin Resort and Salomon announce a new multi-year partnership in which Salomon will provide Snowbasin with equipment for rentals and lessons. The partnership between the two Northern Utah-based companies will add a community access point for Snowbasin guests and bolster offerings of the resort’s award-winning “Learn & Earn” program, providing a more accessible and affordable learning experience for first time skiers and snowboarders.

Through the partnership, Snowbasin guests will now have access to an entirely new demo fleet of Salomon skis and snowboards for rentals and lessons, providing access to the best technology in the industry.

Salomon will also offer season pass pick up at their Amer Sports Factory Outlet in Ogden, Utah for Snowbasin pass holders starting August 15, 2021, plus gear fittings for participants of the Learn & Earn program. They will also provide an assortment of discounts to Learn & Earn participants on Salomon apparel and gear, including:

20% one-time discount on any in-stock Salomon products at the AMER Sports Factory Outlet store in Ogden when picking up or fitting gear
10% discount on any in-stock Salomon products at the AMER Sports Factory Outlet store
30% one-time use discount code for Learn & Earn program graduates on Salomon.com

“Through our Learn & Earn program, we look to welcome and encourage first-time skiers and snowboarders to the sport by setting them up for success in order to become lifelong enthusiasts of the sport,” says Davy Ratchford, the General Manager of Snowbasin Resort. “We are thrilled to partner with Salomon in working to make winter sports more accessible and more affordable for all people within our local community.”

The Learn & Earn program won the NSAA Conversion Cup in 2018 for its success in introducing newcomers to skiing and snowboarding. The three-year program provides lessons, equipment and season passes at a great value. Since the program’s inception, it has introduced thousands of new skiers and snowboarders to the sport.

“We are thrilled to partner with a world-class ski resort right in our own backyard,” says Jenny Taylor, VP of Marketing for Salomon Americas. “Our goal as a company is to help enable people to play, progress and connect with nature. Whether you’re just starting out in Snowbasin’s Learn & Earn program, or tackling their expert terrain, we are here to provide you with the best equipment.”

Snowbasin Resort launched sales earlier this week for its award- winning “Learn and Earn” program for the 2021-2022 season. The program provides a road map for learning for first time skiers and snowboarders, offering a host of incentives to participants including three full day lessons, rentals for the entire season as well as a full season pass to the resort after instruction.

Participants of “Learn and Earn” are invited to join the program for up to three seasons. Guests who complete the first year are eligible for year two, and guests who complete year two are eligible for year three. The three- year program saves thousands of dollars over time and supports guests in becoming core participants in the snow sports world.

“The Learn & Earn program focuses on instilling a sense of inclusivity amongst newcomers. By keeping the price point affordable, we alleviate one of the biggest deterrents to entering the world of snow sports,” said Davy Ratchford, Snowbasin Resort General Manager. “Over the years, Snowbasin has been able to help foster thousands of first-time skiers and snowboarders into lifelong participants of the sport.”

Each year’s program brings in 1,500 participants with an 81% retention rate for participants moving onto the next year. The Learn and Earn program was also the winner of the NSAA Conversion Cup in 2018 which recognizes significant efforts in growing the sport.
