This is the Last Chance to Use your EPIC Pass at this World-Class Resort 

Snowbasin Resort, located just one hour north of Park City, is reopening for a bonus guest appreciation weekend, providing EPIC Pass holders one last chance to use their pass at Snowbasin. The resort will be reopening three lifts and 58 trails and welcoming skiers back to enjoy nearly two feet of fresh snow from Friday, April 15, to Sunday, April 17.

This is the last opportunity for EPIC Pass Holders to utilize their pass at this resort, as Snowbasin will no longer be on EPIC in upcoming ski seasons. 

Resort services will be adapted to accommodate this post-operation format. Service updates include:

• Tickets: Snowbasin is offering a special deal for those who purchase lift tickets online before the end of day Thursday. Prices include: $99 for adults, $69 for seniors and $49 for youth. These prices are online only.  Window tickets will be available over the weekend at the Grizzly Center ticketing windows. 
• Passes: Snowbasin and Epic Pass Holders from the 2021-22 season will have access. Additionally, those that have purchased a Snowbasin Pass for the 2022-23 season can attend if their pass is paid in full.
• Rentals & Retail: The Grizzly Center retail and rental shops will be open for normal operations between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 
• Snow Sports: Lessons will remain closed for the season. However, Snowbasin’s Learning Center will be open to allow additional bathroom access for guests. 
• Parking: Guest parking is available in three locations: Earl’s Lot, Maples Lot and the Canyon Rim Lot. Wildcat Lot will remain closed due to on-mountain conditions. The resort will continue to operate complimentary guest shuttles to conveniently transport visitors to the base area. 
• Food & Beverage: Earl’s Lodge will be open for bathroom access only on Friday and Saturday and remain closed to the public for Easter Brunch guests only on Sunday.

With six different eateries across the mountain and award-winning dining, Snowbasin provides a foodie experience for everyone.

When you think of Snowbasin, you are likely thinking of expansive terrain, Olympic runs, amazing views, and fun for the whole family. However, there is one key element from Snowbasin’s on-mountain experience missing on that list, their food. Whether you are heading to the mountain to put your EPIC Pass to use or, rather, to read and relax in the luxurious lodges, enjoying the award-winning dining offered on the mountain should be at the top of your to-do list. 

Ranked amongst the best food in the industry by Ski Magazine, you too can become a foodie for the day when sampling the resort’s delicious array of cuisine. There are six eateries strategically placed across Snowbasin’s 3,000 acres making dining accessible to everyone on the mountain. 

At the base of the mountain, you can pop into Earl’s lodge for your choice between two of the resort’s classic dining options, Earl’s Lodge Eatery and Cinnabar. If you are looking for a quick bite before heading back to the slopes, the Eatery offers a wide selection of fast and easy meals for you to choose from, including their famous home-style pot pies, freshly carved sandwiches and crisp salads.

Around the corner nestled in the north end of Earl’s lodge, you will find Cinnabar, Snowbasin’s go-to full-service restaurant. This brilliant, scarlet-themed restaurant is designed and named after the Cinnabar Stone, native to Snowbasin’s mountainous region. Inside this elaborate setting, you will enjoy mountain-side cuisine like no other. Locals’ favorites include the Cinnabar Nachos, which are a strong contender for the best Nachos in Utah, and The Loaded Burger, because how could you go wrong with a classic? Plus, on the weekends you can enjoy your meal and free après music, performed by talented local artists.  

Needles Lodge, located at the heart of the resort and just a quick 12-minute scenic ride up Needles Gondola, is home to two more dining options that you can’t pass by. With an eatery similar to Earl’s but featuring Southwestern cuisine, you can access grab-and-go options that include tacos, burritos, and quesadillas that can only be found at this opulent lodge. Snowbasin’s newest dining experience, The Overlook, is a full-service bar and restaurant overlooking the valley below. You can take in the views to the sounds of a crackling fire while sampling colorful flatbreads and sliders and sipping on refreshing brews. 

Venturing to the south end of the resort, at the bottom of Strawberry Gondola, is Snowbasin’s only slope-side dining experience. With access straight from some of the resort’s most beloved runs, you can enjoy classic ski day meals with a twist, such as homemade pizzas and Korean fried chicken sandwiches. 

Your Snowbasin food tour wouldn’t be complete without making your way to the north end of the resort for a quick ride up John Paul Express to a mountain-top dining experience unlike any other. Positioned just below Mt. Ogden, with panoramic views of the entire Snowbasin ridgeline, John Paul Lodge offers one of the most scenic food experiences in North America. Not only are the views great, but the food is even better, featuring classic German and Belgian cuisine options such as bratwursts, spaetzle salad, and an expansive waffle bar. 

After all this talk of food, you must be hungry! Lucky for you, Snowbasin and its variety of dining options are easily accessible with just a short one-hour drive from Park City. In no time at all, you can be embarking on one of the most scenic and delicious foodie experiences available. Head over to snowbasin.com to learn more about their various dining options and to plan your next visit today.
