Just a 40 minute drive North East of Salt Lake City Utah, or 20 minutes from the city of Ogden Utah, are three fabulous ski and snowboard areas; Snowbasin Resort, Powder Mountain Resort and Wolf Mountain Resort. These ski and snowboard areas are tucked in the gorgeous Cache National forest, nestled in a simply beautiful and stunning section of the Wasatch mountain range. Snowbasin, although one of the oldest ski areas in the United States circa 1939, recently became world famous since hosting several events at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. For over 60 years Snowbasin was coveted mainly by those in the know and by local powder seekers. That changed when two incredibly tough courses were set on the now famous Wildflower and Grizzly ski runs.
