The world caught a glimpse of Ogden’s winter playground during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, when Snowbasin hosted the downhill, combined and super-G events. A number of ski magazines continue to expose Ogden’s powder shots and upper bowls in all their pristine beauty. As a result, we’ve noticed the new downhillers, snowboarding airdogs, and cross country gliders in our midst. Welcome. Just try to contain your giddiness, it’s a dead giveaway.
There’s enough to share
With three major ski resorts under 20 minutes away and six more within an hour’s drive, there’s plenty for all, with very little waiting. Come check out Snowbasin’s Olympic runs, as well as, their snowboarding superpipe, three terrain parks and a family-friendly tubing hill. You’ll also find miles of off-piste trails and challenging upper bowls both there and at nearby Powder Mountain Resort. For the less experienced, Wolf Creek Utah Ski Resort is considered the best learning mountain in the western United States. Here, newbies can learn the basics of skiing and snowboarding on the exceptionally forgiving beginner and novice terrain.
