On the heals of the Weber County commission's approval last Tuesday of Powder Mountain's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for future development, yesterday Snowbasin announced development plans for the 11,800 acres it owns (8000 in Morgan County, 3800 in Weber County). Snowbasin estimates 1500 or more units will ultimately be built in/around Earl's Village adjacent to the main lodge.
Unlike Powder Mountain, Snowbasin has worked with the Weber County Planning Commission and Ogden Valley residents all along, and is utilizing the "Destination and Recreation Resort Zone" that was created last year, and will be transferring over 500 development units from land in the Ogden Valley, near Pineview Reservoir for development at the resort. Snowbasin also announced it will be adding a second entrance to the ski area on the Morgan County side, which should help to minimize traffic-related congestion.
This is a 50 year plan, to include single family homes, condos and townhomes, hotels, new lifts, its own fire station, wastewater treatment plant, golf courses, ice skating, grocery sto9re, restaurants and trails for horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking.
