The Ogden Valley has unsurpassed natural beauty and a wide variety of outdoor activities in all seasons. Snowbasin and Powder Mountain dominate the landscape on opposite sides of the Valley, with Pineview Reservoir between them. Winter recreational opportunities include downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Swimming, boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, kayaking, horseback riding, as well as golfing on the premier Wolf Creek golf course, round out leisure activities during the rest of the year. Both Powder Mountain, with its long-lasting powder stashes, and Snowbasin, which was home to the 2002 Olympic Downhill and Super G events, have been an insider’s secret that have become more widely known in the past couple of years. Wintertime is beautiful without being harsh, and the beauty of the Valley is enhanced by a diversity of wildlife.
The Valley towns of Eden, Liberty, and Huntsville have a small town community spirit. Fourth of July festivities at Huntsville and Liberty, and the Ogden Valley Balloon Festival held in August, are a treat for both visitors and locals alike. The Valley also hosts the Ogden Marathon, Nissan Xterra Mountain Championship, and Ogden Valley Triathlon during the springtime and summer. Ogden is just minutes from the Valley and offers a wider variety of restaurants, shopping, and further entertainment activities. Though just an hour from the Salt Lake City International Airport and all that the big city has to offer, the Valley is a place to truly get away from it all!
