Ski Resorts are a favorite winter activity. There are three close to home in the Weber County area:
Powder Mountain Resort: http://powdermountain.com/en/
With 77” base as of December 29, 2016, Powder Mountains website proclaims: “Preserving the Powder... it’s not just a slogan, it’s who we are and what we live for. We have added two new lifts and over 1,000 acres of lift serviced terrain this season, pushing our in-bounds skiable terrain to a massive 8,464 acres covered entirely by the greatest snow on earth, direct from Mother Nature. Instead of packing more people into the resort, we are limiting lift ticket sales to 2,000 per day ensuring the lowest skier density of any major ski resort in North America. Your powder paradise is waiting just an hour from Salt Lake airport!”

“Good morning from Snowbasin! It’s going to be a beautiful day on the mountain today, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 20s and 30s. The views from Strawberry today should be outstanding. Come on up and escape the inversion while zipping down one of our immaculately groomed runs, which have been skiing and riding beautifully all week. It should be a great day to hop on one of our chairlifts and enjoy the beautiful scenery that Snowbasin offers.
Hungry for breakfast? Start your day right with a ride up to John Paul Lodge for a fresh Belgian waffle and cup of Daily Rise coffee. Or head into the Cinnabar for our plated brunch, which will be served all week this week from 8:30 until 11:30 a.m. End your day at the Cinnabar for free acres’ ski music with A Shadow of a Jaguar.”
