The Global Life: Utah's Sparkle
(2 of 2)
The Olympics made Snowbasin a star, expanding a small mom-and-pop resort into 2,950 acres of sublime terrain and views. As host to the downhill and super-G events, the resort built three day lodges and replaced most of its lifts. These aren't your typical boot-scuffing lodges. Chandeliers and leather-backed chairs may make you feel at home. At 8,700 ft., the John Paul Lodge offers A bird's-eye view of the downhill--where racers reach 80 m.p.h. If you want to imitate Bode Miller's hairy medal-winning run, take the Olympic tram to the top, where the course starts and this Alpine thrill ride begins.
