I got a season pass here this year and I enjoyed it every day up until today. I still have fun don’t get me wrong and there is a lot of good terrain but when I ski by ski patrol and get told to “slow the f*** down” it kind of dampens the mood and the reason I was skiing. I’m glad ski patrol is here to do there jobs but they could have said “please slow down” or even a whistle blow would have sufficed.
The Cliff Lodge was very good. We enjoyed the Spa very much. Even the hot tubs on the 3rd floor we nice. The Aerie restaurant has a great breakfast buffet so take advantage of it. The shuttle/bell hop service was very helpful as well. No complaints here for early season save for Squirrel, their food and beverage software. It has lots of bugs, so it's not your servers fault
2017: Prices on food and drink keep going up and the quality of the mugs (their design and the application of it on the mugs) keeps dropping. It's so much fun but the cost is just not worth the drive anymore. :(
2015: Oktoberfest is fantastic. The resort is gorgeous in the fall with all the changing colors, and the fresh cool air is wildly refreshing.
I also like all the activities now available (including all the eating ones).
This is my favorite place to go snowboarding. The resort has really long runs and incredible views. From the very top to there is an amazing view that I've never seen anywhere else while boarding. They had a half pipe when I was there which was also awesome and there's a great place to eat right at the bottom of the lift. All the runs from what I remember seem to have a good amount of directions to choose from.
Very fun summer activities! Very beautiful place with tons to do. The tram is a must do, I can't believe I didn't ride it until I was 45. We have discovered how cool Snowbird is just a few years ago now it's become a regular thing for us to do. We don't ski or snowboard so we don't go during the winter but spring, summer and fall works for us. The views from a top the tram are incredible!
Snowbird is the best! Went there for Octoberfest. Rode the tram and hiked down. Had some good local beers. All in a very festive atmosphere. I spend as much time as I can up at Snowbird. Though I am a Season pass holder.
By far one of the best ski resorts in the US. I was here recently for their Oktoberfest celebrate, which is almost as old as the resort itself, founded in 1972 and the resort opened in 1971. The mountain staff are friendly and terrain is some of the best. They have a large tram that will take you to the summit. Good all times of the year.
Went to Snowbird for Oktoberfest, and it was a lot of fun! We had great beer, and the views driving into the canyon were incredible. As someone from the south, it was amazing to see about on top of the mountain, and all of the leaves changing color for fall. I'd love to go back again during the winter to try skiing and snowboarding!
Went up to Oktoberfest and had a blast! Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny for a beer. One Liter will cost you $13.50. Definitely worth it with the right set of people. I will be back to visit again soon!
Bought the all day activity pass and tram ticket. Kiddos 11 and 9 had so much fun. It was one in of the best days if our summer. The rides we're very safe and the help was cheerful and kind. Bonus too!!! There is a State Liquor store on the ground floor of the lodge that has controlled pricing so our bottle of wine was an affordable splurge with lunch on the patio.
The Cliff at Snowbird is an extremely nice and quiet upscale restaurant. The prices are somewhat high. The service was astounding. Our waiter was on the ball with everything. They even split an entree into 2 separate plates for us. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend.
Snowbird is one of the premiere ski destinations in North America. I have had a pass here for 4 years and it is amazing. The terrain is outstanding and snow is some of the best around. That being said for such a great resort there are a few things that severely hold it back. The lift line management can be horrendous, especially on busy days. Area openings are often poorly handled, with very poor information or communication. Even simple things like clearing the snow stake is often forgotten.
My best skiing experience so far. Snowbird is higher up than Brighton, Solitude, Park City or Deer Valley, which means they typically have better snow, and it lasts there for longer (they're often open through May, while other resorts close mid-April). You also get to ride more runs if you start at the very top and to to the very bottom, so it seems more time-efficient. Not very many greens, but lots of fun blues and blacks. I enjoyed numerous runs where you can just go fast on a large open area without being afraid to fall. Oh, and the views at the top are breath-taking!
I had a great time skiing at snowbird this entire season, this was my first time trying it out but it was amazing. Snow pack was great even a little into spring, though it got icy as every resort does this late in the season. I was up there just today and it was snowing a fair amount. Base facilities were great, modern and well stocked with food and restrooms and rental shops. Mountain hosts were helpful and frequently spread throughout the mountain.
We came for a snowboarding trip and it was so great! Granted, it snowed 13 inches so we got to board on fresh powder, but the resort itself was great as well. 1) Friendly and helpful staff. 2) Free guided tours daily at 9:30am and 10:40am. They were SO awesome. 3) Great food/drink options. So many choices. 4) Numerous runs and plenty of choices for beginners/intermediate/advanced skiers and snowboarders. (Yes, there are some gnarly flat spots and if you don't know where they are you will want to cry - if you're a snowboarder. Hence the free guided tours!) 5) They have a tunnel. A real tunnel! It connects the front of the mountain to the other side. It reminds me of a real-life version of a Disneyland ride. It's great! You need a video of the end when you come out the other side and see AMAZING views.
