Why Basin Blend Is the Perfect Coffee for Summer at Snowbasin
When most people think of Snowbasin Resort, they think of powder days, first chair, and winter adventures. But locals know a secret: some of the best days at Snowbasin happen in the summer. The mountain transforms into what many of us affectionately call "Summer Basin” a place where mountain bikers, hikers, concert-goers, families, and brunch enthusiasts gather to enjoy cool mountain air and incredible Wasatch views. And whether you're riding lifts, listening to live music, or enjoying brunch at the top of the mountain, there's one coffee that feels right at home: Basin Blend.
A Coffee Inspired by the Mountain
At Daily Rise Coffee, we've proudly partnered with Snowbasin for more than a decade. Over the years, we've shared countless powder mornings, mountain sunrises, and unforgettable community events. Basin Blend was created to capture that mountain experience in a cup. It's smooth and approachable, yet full of character—perfect for everything from early morning adventures to relaxing afternoons on the lawn.

Ride the Mountain, Then Refuel
Summer at Snowbasin has become a destination for outdoor enthusiasts throughout Utah. Mountain bikers can now enjoy lift-served terrain featuring the Little Cat lift. Hikers can explore miles of scenic trails. Families can ride the gondola and take in some of the most spectacular views in the state. After a morning on the mountain, few things are better than finding a shady spot, relaxing, and enjoying a refreshing Daily Rise Cold Brew. The cool mountain temperatures, fresh alpine air, and incredible scenery make every cup taste a little better.
One of Utah's Best Brunch Views
If you've never taken the gondola ride to Needles Lodge, put it on your summer bucket list. Perched high above the valley, Needles Lodge offers breathtaking views, delicious food, and a mountain experience unlike anything else in Utah. Whether you're stopping in for brunch before a hike or enjoying lunch after a bike ride, it's hard to beat sipping coffee while overlooking thousands of acres of mountain terrain. It's one of our favorite places to enjoy Basin Blend.
Live Music, Lawn Chairs, and Cold Brew
One of the best parts of Summer Basin is the live music. Throughout the summer, the mountain comes alive with concerts, families gathering on the grass, and friends reconnecting in one of Utah's most beautiful outdoor settings. Bring a lawn chair. Bring a blanket. Bring your favorite people. Then grab a Daily Rise Cold Brew and enjoy an afternoon where nobody seems to be in a hurry. That's what summer in the mountains is all about.
