Snowbird, Utah - October brings two weekends of free Tram rides at Snowbird with a donation to the Utah Food Bank. Snowbird Customer Appreciation Days span two weekends this year - Friday-Sunday, Oct. 17-19 and Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 25-26.
One can of food equals one free Tram ride during Customer Appreciation Days. In lieu of food, a $2 donation may be made for a Tram ride. All food donations benefit the Utah Food Bank and money donations benefit the Wasatch Adaptive Sports program.
The Tram will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 17-19 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 25-26. Bring food and donations to the front entrance of the Snowbird Center, accessed by Snowbird Entry 2.
Snowbird's newest attractions, the Alpine Slide and Bungy Trampoline, will also be open during Customer Appreciation Days, with the same operating hours as the Tram. Tickets for the Alpine Slide and Bungy Trampoline are separate from the Utah Food Bank food-raiser.
