The Snowbasin Resort Culinary Team is competing to make batches of their own personal chilis which guests can sample, taste, and then vote on for the third annual No Name Chili Festival. The winning chili will be served all year long at John Paul Lodge for the 2015/16 season.
Chili tasting kits cost $15 per person with $2 of every purchase going directly to the Utah Food Bank. You can get $2 off a chili tasting kit by donating a non-perishable food item.
Enjoy free live music from Dead Winter Carpenters and Henry Wade Band. BBQ items and beverages are available for purchase. The event is welcome to all ages. Children's activities are provided.
September 7th will also be the last chance to get a 2015/16 season pass at a discounted price. The 75th anniversary season passes increase at midnight on September 7th.
