The Iron Blosam Lodge is named after a historic Little Cottonwood Canyon Mining Claim "Iron Blosam," hence the phonetic spelling.The rugged concrete and iron structure is dressed with displays on historic mining artifacts and vintage skis. Iron Blosam was fully opened in the fall of 1975, although there was some occupancy during final phases of construction in 1974. Iron Blosam was one of the first timeshare properties in the world and was the first timeshare development in a ski area in North America. The Iron Blosam has been extensively remodeled and upgraded with the most recent room renovation being completed in 2004.
Iron Blosam is well-located, near the lifts and Snowbird Center. If you don't want to walk, there is a Snowbird shuttle van every 10-15inites and an Iron Blosam shuttle on demand. This North efficiency unit is cozy and adequate for two adults. I would not recommend it for more people, though there is a sofa bed in addition to the queen bed. The whole unit is the size of a moderately-sizes living room, with no bedroom. Everything is clean and worked well, the kitchen is well-equipped with pots and pans. The humidifier was a nice touch due to the extremely dry air. The view is of the main road, not the ski area. The fitness room is small but has good cardio and weight options. The pool and jacuzzi are great. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the Wildflower pizza on 3rd floor is tasty. If you are in Snowbird primarily to ski and luxury is not a priority, Iron Blosam is a good choice. If you want a more upscale experience, consider the Cliff Lodge. For ski rental, try Snowbird Sports in Snowbird Ctr. They have only/mostly Dynastar skis but good quality gear and excellent service. Creekside Sports is slightly cheaper but the staff were listless and borderline surly. Probably end of season blues. Iron Blosam has discount coupon s for both shops.
