Show Volume XIV Issue XXIII The Ogden Valley news Page 5 September 15, 2007 Season Pass Purchases Available at Snowbasin Resort Early season passes are available for purchase at Earl’s Lodge at Snowbasin Resort on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The early season pass rates will expire October 1, 2007. Pass Sales Manager Steve Andrus states, “We are pleased to announce our new midweek season pass that allows skiing Monday through Friday.” Some blackout dates will apply: December 24, 2007 though January 2, 2008; and February 18, 2008 through February 22, 2008. Midweek season passes cost $750 before October 1, 2007 and $850 thereafter. Andrus adds, “Another new feature available this year for Snowbasin guests is a discounted multi-day lift ticket. Skiers and riders purchasing early will receive a free summer gondola day pass that our savvy guests will be able to take advantage of by making a day out of their time up on the slopes. Guests will be able to obtain their passes, take a ride on the gondola, enjoy fine dining, play disc golf, mountain bike, or take a beautiful mountain hike.” The summer season culminates September 29 with the 8th annual Uphill/ Downhill Race and Fall Festival, and the final concert on the Plaza on Sunday, September 30. Snowbasin’s fall season begins October 6 with Fine Dining on Friday Evenings, Saturday Breakfast and Lunch, and Sunday Brunch in the Huntington Room at Earl’s Lodge—recently awarded the Best Restaurant in Northern Utah by Salt Lake Magazine.

The downhill race will include a 1000 foot vertical drop, double black diamond race featuring all the top riders from the area. Having the course laid out by Dave Beason, who was the 2006 downhill world champion, should ensure a challenging descent for the contestants. Registration will be from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. with the race beginning thereafter at 10:00 a.m., and running until all entrants complete the course. There will be no entrance fee—the race is free! “Working with the guys that are excited about the sport and filling the “freeride” niche has been a fulfilling experience,” said Brian Cain, Assistant Mountain Manger. We are looking forward to hosting more events like this next year, and watching our program expand and grow with more diverse terrain and trails. The race is being sponsored by Go Ride, Bikers Edge, Diamond Peak , Lizard Skin, and Wolf Mountain.
