Check out the travel and lodging page for some suggestions.
The ceremony itself will be on a deck and outside, but we are planning on having some heaters. Nevertheless, this will be 8000 ft up and in winter, so prepare for some cold before we all head inside for the party. We’ve been watching the Snowbasin snowcam like a hawk everyday. Watch with us! https://www.snowbasin.com/the-mountain/web-cams/
We will start running a gondola ski lift up to the venue (that's the only way to get there) at about 5:30.
Yes, absolutely. We get discounted lift tickets so be sure to reach out to us and get info on that, or get an epic pass if that makes sense for your lifestyle.
The wedding itself is on a patio and the reception is inside, but to get through the parking lots, up to the gondolas and potentially to explore at the top, we'd recommend wearing some comfortable snow-friendly shoes and changing into your party shoes once you make it up.
Couldn't hurt! It's going to be 10,000ft up a snowy mountain so expect it to be cold, better to dress for the weather and shed some layers once you're at the party then be cold the whole way up and down.
The Needles Gondolas start running at 5:30 from the snowbasin main entrance and will take you up to the venue. Please be prompt as the ceremony will start at 6 and it's a pretty long ride. You're welcome to drive directly to snowbasin if you prefer, but we will also have busses running from the Lakeside condos (here: https://goo.gl/maps/Q5UFDVdtkbF1tsGU7), starting at 5pm. The busses will return you back to the lakeside condos after the event.
We're sticking around for a while and will have some brunch on Sunday (listed on the events page) for our first real day of skiing (please ski before the wedding too if you want but we're gonna wait until it's official). Come have some coffee and hit the slopes with us if you're sticking around too. Michael Johnson (Ariel's dad), is hosting a day hike Sunday up to Antelope Mountain for those not looking to ski. Guests will meet at Earl's Lodge during the farewell brunch to eat a solid meal before heading into their respective cars no later than 10:30 am.
