context_page_description: Snowbasin Resort is a ski resort in the western United States, located in Weber County, Utah, 33 miles northeast of Salt Lake City, on the back side of the Wasatch Range.
  Opened 81 years ago in 1939, as part of an effort by the city of Ogden to restore the Wheeler Creek watershed, it is one of the oldest continually operating ski resorts in the United States. One of the owners in the early days was Aaron Ross. Over the next fifty years Snowbasin grew, and after a large investment in lifts and snowmaking by owner Earl Holding, Snowbasin hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic alpine skiing races for downhill, combined, and super-G.
  The movie Frozen was filmed there in 2009.
  Snowbasin is located on Mount Ogden at the west end of State Route 226, which is connected to I-84 and SR-39 via SR-167.
