Early morning. Snow dumped all night. The drive from your downtown hotel up Ogden Canyon to this point should have taken five minutes, but the snowplows slowed things down and it has taken seven. Will you be too late for first chair? In front of you is a heavily stickered SUV with a mix of skis and snowboards on its rack. Ahead of that, an arc of fresh powder flies from the blade of a plow and obscures the directional arrows at a pivotal crossroads. The snowplow continues straight. The SUV takes a left. Which way do you go? Are you gritty or glam? Or a little of both?
If a storm hits and you have more than one ski day, go to Snowbasin Resort first since it will get tracked out first. Save Powder Mountain for later. “Pow Mow” can hang onto powder stashes for several days after a storm.
You’re never going to throw a pitch from the mound at Fenway. You’ll probably never play 18 holes at Augusta. But you can ski the same downhill course as Winter Olympic athletes at Snowbasin. Layering is everything at Snowbasin. You never know if you’ll stick to the cozy gondolas all day, or ride chairs into side-country stashes.

When you combine the largest resort in North America with a daily skier cap, you get the largest ratio of skiable acres to skiers anywhere. There’s a reason Backcountry Magazine conducts its annual gear reviews at Pow Mow every year. Backcountry-style terrain serviced by lifts and Snowcats means more turns.

Burgers, Ramen & Beer
Best beer selection
Pizza by the slice
You tell yourself that you’re just going to slip into the Powder Keg for a quick beer and a bite, but then the combo of steaming noodles, local live music and sharing a table with a bunch of strangers who quickly become good friends takes over. You might be here for a while.

This is the equivalent of the "cool kids’ table" in Ogden. Mountain athletes, artists, independent business owners, community leaders and vagabonds all raise different glasses from a selection of more than 300 beers along the shady banks of the Ogden River. Traditional pub fare—pizza, wings, nachos and sandwiches—taken to a higher level. Plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Live, acoustic music most nights with local musicians.
Come as you are.

The place to meet that local dude who showed you to his secret powder stash earlier in the day. Buy his slice. Never let it be said you didn’t do the least you could do.

Slope side dining
Greatest sushi in Utah
House made pasta
Ever since microwavable meals hijacked the word “gourmet,” it has lost its meaning. Snowbasin’s lodges bring meaning back to the word whether you go with a basic burger or hand-carved roast beef.

Fresh sushi in the mountains? Uh, yeah. Especially if it’s at the place that consistently wins “Best of State” awards. Like anywhere in Ogden, feel free to come as you are, but we recommend changing out of the ski apparel, slipping out of the Uggs and enjoying one of the semi-private tables.

A unique amalgam that only Ogden could dream up: A dive bar, an awesome restaurant, and a live music listening room. Any pub crawl that includes The Yes Hell is likely to end at The Yes Hell. It’s the kind of place that’s hard to leave.

Find your inner mountain man
Actually LOL
Yes, you can have a sample of that
Your friends might have out-skied you today, but you can probably school them in competitive axe throwing. If at first you don’t succeed, try doing what your coach told you in the first place.

Yeah, you’re on a ski vacation, but go ahead and pack the dress clothes. It’s true the theater might be hosting a ski film festival, but you want to be ready in case it’s a symphony ballet that night.
