Snowbasin Resort is one of the oldest continuously operating ski areas in the nation. Ever since the first hearty skier schussed down our slopes in 1940, people from all over the United States have come to enjoy our exhilarating powder snow and majestic mountain scenery. The history of Snowbasin and the US Forest Service is a story of discovery, restoration and conservation of this unique and bountiful area as a special place of beauty and adventure.
