5 FAST FACTS ABOUT WEBER COUNTY
ELEVATION CHANGE
1. With the Wasatch Mountains soaring to more than 9,000 feet to the east and the Great Salt Lake thousands of feet below them to the west, Weber County packs a large number of climate zones into a small area. They include a high-elevation alpine zone, subalpine forest, semiarid foothills and mountain valleys as well as salt desert, saline wetlands and fertile agricultural land.
Source: mtnregionalwaterutah.gov
FREMONT ISLAND
2. The third-largest island in the Great Salt Lake, Fremont Island was originally named “Disappointment Island” by John C. Fremont and Kit Carson, who explored and mapped the lake in 1843. Fremont expected the island to be a lush paradise, not the barren landscape the island offered. Located within the boundaries of Weber County, the island was privately owned for many years but was donated to the State of Utah in 2020 and is open for public recreational use.

BUSINESS DEPOT OGDEN
3. This development was originally built in 1941 to provide logistical support to military agencies during World War II. By the war’s end, the depot, known then as the Utah General Depot, had 28 warehouses and employed 4,000 civilians and 5,000 prisoners of war and was the largest wartime quartermaster depot in the country. Today, BDO is home to modern warehouses hosting multimillion dollar companies.

A SPOOKY HISTORY
4. A number of locations in downtown Ogden have a reputation for being haunted, including the Ben Lomond Hotel, Union Station, buildings along 25th Street and Peery’s Egyptian Theater. Some of these stories harken back to the area’s past as a railroad hub that attracted rapid economic development but also less reputable establishments such as gambling dens and brothels.

FIRST SCHOOL TEACHER
5. Huntsville Town in the Ogden Valley had the first free public school in Utah and the first school teacher in the state: Mary Jane Dilworth Hammond, who is buried in the local cemetery. Hammond taught school in Hawaii while serving a mission with her husband there for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before moving to Huntsville.

SCHOOLS

Enrollment is capped at a certain number at each school; if too many students apply for admission, the school holds a lottery to determine which students will be admitted.
Some charter schools place an emphasis on a specific subject matter area (such as science) or on a certain instructional methodology. There are charter schools operating in several Weber County cities. There are also private schools available in the area, both religious and secular in nature, that offer instruction for students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) provides bus routes throughout Weber County, including routes to some of the area’s major employment centers. Bus service is also available to surrounding communities, including Brigham City and Salt Lake City. During the winter, UTA offers bus service to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain ski resorts. The bus service connects riders to FrontRunner, Utah’s commuter rail system, at stations in Ogden and Roy.

In downtown Ogden, UTA operates the Ogden Trolley, a service that transports visitors to popular shopping, dining and entertainment areas including The Junction, Ogden City Hall, the Ogden Amphitheater, Lindquist Field and FrontRunner’s Ogden Central Station.
Commuters in the southern area of Weber County will benefit from a massive Utah Department of Transportation project now underway that is reconstructing the 5600 South interchange on Interstate 15 and widening 5600 South in Roy. The new design will improve safety and mobility on 5600 South and reduce traffic congestion. The project includes constructing a new trail system in the area for pedestrians and cyclists along with a new pedestrian bridge over 5600 South. The project is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2026.

VISIT OGDEN
WEBER COUNTY’S
TOURISM ENGINE
Weber County’s vibrant economy isn’t just built on industry; it’s fueled by tourism, and Visit Ogden is the engine driving that growth. Visit Ogden isn’t just about pretty brochures; it’s a strategic force generating significant economic benefits for our community.
JOBS AND PROSPERITY
Visit Ogden’s marketing efforts attract visitors, filling hotel rooms, restaurant tables and retail shops. This translates directly into jobs that support families and strengthen our local workforce across a wide range of sectors, from hospitality to transportation.
Visit Ogden’s efforts extend beyond attracting individual tourists; we also actively pursue and secure group business – conferences, meetings, sports tournaments and events – that inject substantial revenue and stimulate the local economy.
A POWERFUL REVENUE STREAM
Tourism isn’t just about spending; it’s about generating revenue that directly benefits our entire county. Increased sales tax, lodging tax and other related revenue streams are vital for funding essential services like infrastructure improvements, public safety and education.
While the visitor economy represents 10% of Weber County’s overall economy, visitors account for significant portions of revenue for the aspects of our community that make it special, including nearly 40% of restaurant business and more than 50% of resort and attraction revenue. Visit Ogden’s strategic marketing ensures a consistent flow of these vital funds, improving the quality of life for all Weber County residents.
ECONOMIC STABILITY AND DIVERSIFICATION
While our economy is diverse, tourism provides a critical buffer against fluctuations in other sectors. It’s a resilient industry, and Visit Ogden’s continuous promotion of our unique attractions reinforces this stability, offering reliable economics for our county.
SUSTAINABILITY: AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Our commitment to environmental protection, responsible resource management and community engagement isn’t just about minimizing negative impacts; it’s about proactively shaping a future where tourism enhances, rather than detracts from, the quality of life for both residents and visitors.
MORE THAN JUST TOURISTS: BUILDING COMMUNITY PRIDE
Visit Ogden’s work doesn’t just attract visitors; it enhances our community’s image and appeal, strengthening community pride. Our efforts highlight not just the attractions but the quality of life in Weber County, attracting both tourists and new residents and job recruits. This positive visibility fuels investment, benefiting local businesses and infrastructure alike.
COLLABORATION: THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Visit Ogden’s success story isn’t written alone. We are actively engaged in partnerships with local businesses, organizations and community leaders, fostering a collaborative environment that amplifies our impact.

SKI RESORTS POWDER MOUNTAIN
Utah’s art landscape is about to grow in a remarkable new direction. Powder Mountain has unveiled the first phase of an ambitious outdoor art museum and is inviting locals and visitors to experience worldclass artworks woven with great intention into the fabric of the resort.
The concept was first introduced in August 2024 when Powder Mountain announced its plan to integrate large-scale artworks throughout the resort. Now, with the inaugural installations complete, visitors this winter will be able to ski directly among the pieces using a standard lift ticket or season pass. In summer and fall, access will be free via newly constructed hiking and biking trails that wind through the artwork sites.
“Collectively, these new works create pockets of wonder and introspection throughout the mountain,” said Alex Zhang, Powder’s chief creative officer.
“They’re sited with great intention, working in harmony with their surroundings — not to distract from the beauty of the Wasatch, but to deepen the experience for anyone
moving through it.”
Two historic works anchor this first phase. “Starfire” by Nancy Holt, realized with the Holt/ Smithson Foundation, places eight ground-level fire pits in a formation mirroring the Big Dipper and North Star. Lit before and after sundown, the flames create a terrestrial constellation that echoes Holt’s renowned “Sun Tunnels” in Utah’s Great Basin Desert.
Nearby stands “Phase of Nothingness – Stone Stack,” a monumental 20-foot arc of rounded boulders conceived by Japanese artist Nobuo Sekine. The sculpture evokes an alpine cairn frozen midbalance. Powder Mountain will be home to the artist’s only permanent public work in the United States.
Two newly commissioned installations bring a fresh, sitespecific perspective. EJ Hill has reimagined the resort’s upgraded Timberline and Paradise chairlifts with sculptural interventions and vivid color treatments that turn each ride into part of the artwork. In a nearby forest grove, Kayode Ojo suspends faux-crystal chandeliers from trees, creating a shimmering,
dreamlike canopy.
Next year, the foundation will break ground on a trailside pavilion designed by Neri & Hu. The space will house immersive installations, including a 1970s Bruce Nauman work and James Turrell’s “Apani,” originally shown at the Venice Biennale, making Powder Mountain one of the few public sites in the world with a permanent Turrell Ganzfeld.
With this first phase complete, Powder Mountain is poised to become one of Utah’s most distinctive cultural destinations, where skiing, hiking and world-class art meet on the mountain.

SNOWBASIN
In a landscape defined by historic peaks, ridgelines and sweeping Swiss-Alps-style views, Snowbasin stands as one of the most storied mountains in the West. What began as a vibrant local hill has grown into one of North America’s top ski resorts, recently earning the No. 1 spot in USA TODAY’s 10 BEST Ski Resorts in the U.S. and Canada for the second year in a row along with a top-three ranking in SKI Magazine’s “Top 30 Resorts in the West” for the third consecutive season.
Spanning more than 3,000 skiable acres and 3,000 vertical feet, Snowbasin offers terrain for every type of skier — from steep Olympic runs to gentle learning zones — making it the ideal backdrop for corporate groups of all skill levels.
FIVE REASONS TO TAKE YOUR TEAM OFFSITE TO SNOWBASIN
1. World-class facilities that impress: Snowbasin’s renowned mountain lodges feature elegant architecture, roaring fireplaces and chef-driven dining across six venues. These aren’t typical ski cafeterias — they’re sophisticated
spaces where your team can connect over exceptional cuisine between runs or during structured meetings.
2. Easy access, extraordinary experience: Just 33 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport and minutes from Ogden, Snowbasin delivers a world-class mountain experience without the hassle. New RFID lift access and the high-speed Becker Lift mean less time waiting, more time building team camaraderie.
3. Activities for every ability level: With three distinct mountain zones, your entire team can participate regardless of experience. Beginners appreciate the newly widened Bear Hollow learning area, while advanced skiers tackle Olympic-caliber terrain. Everyone ends the day with shared stories and newfound respect for each other’s courage.
4. Team building that actually builds teams: There’s something about conquering a mountain together that translates directly to workplace collaboration. Shared challenges on the slopes create bonds that last long after returning to the office.
5. A local partner invested in your success: Now in its 85th season, Snowbasin understands corporate groups. Their commitment to exceptional guest service, proven through industry-leading guest satisfaction scores, means your event will be seamlessly executed from start to finish.
Whether you’re planning a day trip from Ogden or a multi-day corporate retreat, Snowbasin offers an unforgettable setting where teams reconnect, recharge and return inspired.

Weber County doesn’t just find talent; it manufactures it. The region has cultivated a seamless partnership between education and industry that is arguably the most effective in the Western United States.

BUSINESS DEPOT OGDEN
In 1940, just prior to World War II, the United States government perceived the possibility of an enemy attack and moved to relocate distribution depots inland. Utah was a prime location for a new depot, and with the help of members of the Ogden community and the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce, Ogden was chosen to be the new Army logistics center.
Defense Depot Ogden opened on Sept. 15, 1941, and ran for 55 years, providing critical supplies for the soldiers of World War II and the Korean, Vietnam and Desert Storm conflicts. In 1995, the BRAC Commission closed the depot, and, within a few years, the property was deeded over to Ogden City. In 1999, the city entered into a 70-year master agreement with the Boyer Company to manage and develop the property, which is now known as Business Depot Ogden (BDO).
BDO has over 13 million square feet of warehousing, manufacturing and office space, with an additional 225 acres of ground available for new development. More than 130 unique businesses and 6,500 employees have made BDO their home.
BDO has a significant positive impact on the local economy through job creation, increased consumer spending, tax revenue generation, property value enhancement, economic diversification, infrastructure improvements and attraction of further business investments. Revenues from the park also help fund additional economic development projects within the city of Ogden.
A list of the companies located at BDO, as well as an overall development map, can be found at boyerbdo.com.
DOING BUSINESS IN WEBER WARRENS FAMILY
RESTAURANTS CELEBRATES 70 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Warrens Family Restaurants, operators of Warrens and Dylans Drive Ins, is celebrating 70 years in business along the Wasatch Front. They kicked it off in spring 2025 with a series of awards from the Utah Restaurant Association and Preservation Utah.
On April 22, 2025, owners and operators Leigh and Kirk Dean were recognized by the Utah Restaurant Association with two awards: the first was as Hall of Fame contributors to the Utah food scene and the second was a “Taste Utah Award.” The Taste Utah Award recognizes an incredible contribution to Utah’s vibrant food culture and a commitment to excellence in hospitality, culinary innovation and community connection.
Following this already exciting recognition, Preservation Utah selected Warrens for a “Legacy Business Award,” acknowledging Warrens Family Restaurants as a
staple of the Wasatch Front since 1955 that has become synonymous with nostalgia, community and enduring success.
ABOUT WARRENS
Beginning as a classic burger and shake spot with a 1950s-era drivein atmosphere, Warrens Family Restaurants comprises the Warrens and Dylans Drive Ins as well as Craft Burger. The group is based in Ogden and has been in operation since the 1950s. The first location was in South Ogden and was created by Doug Warren.
Today, owners Leigh and Kirk Dean operate seven Warrens/ Dylans and the singular Warrens Craft Burger located on Historic 25th Street in Ogden. Their seventh location opened in Plain City in early 2025.
“It's not often that a classic opens a new location; it feels like more often than not these classic places are lost over time," said Kirk Dean.
“Maybe that's why this all feels so special.”
Both Leigh and Kirk are active in the community as members of the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce and the South Jordan Chamber of Commerce. They sponsor and support many community organizations, including the GOAL Foundation and Ogden Marathon, Ogden Restaurant Week and the local high schools in each of their restaurant regions.
They have a strong affinity for supporting first responders; pass by a Warrens on any given Friday
and you’ll see the parking lot full of first responder vehicles, including fire, police and more. It’s been the social spot for these groups for decades.
Each year, all of the locations work with the Boys and Girls Club to support Christmas wish lists for families in need during the holiday season.
Warrens Family Restaurants have hired and supported hundreds if not thousands of families during their history, with some staff members celebrating more than 30 years of employment with the group.
YOUR CHAMBER AT WORK
LETTER FROM 2025 CHAMBER EXECUTIVE BOARD CHAIR
What an extraordinary community we are fortunate to be part of, and what an honor it is to call Ogden home! This community is steeped in history filled with compelling stories of hardship, perseverance and ultimate success.
We are surrounded by majestic mountains, hundreds of miles of scenic trails, beautiful lakes, two exceptional rivers and world-class ski resorts.
But beyond our natural beauty, businesses are drawn to this area for its talented, friendly and educated workforce. As a Partner at Business Depot Ogden, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of
companies and participating firsthand in the economic growth of this community over the past 20 years.
This growth has only been possible because of the collaborative partnerships between government, businesses, educators and nonprofits — all working together to build a stronger, more resilient community.
The Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce is the organization that unites these efforts. This year, the Chamber anticipates reaching an outstanding milestone of 1,000 members! Businesses recognize the value of the Chamber and the opportunities it creates.
AARON AUSTAD

I invite you to join, engage and succeed with the Chamber as we continue to build on the legacy of this vibrant, exceptional community.

CHAMBER MEMBER EXPERIENCES
Membership in the Chamber has helped me improve my personal and business goals by exposing me to other people and businesses who are both in the same stage as I am or in a stage that I want to be. Surrounding myself with these kinds of people has helped elevate my mindset and given me opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
Being a member of the Ogden-Weber Chamber offers numerous benefits, but one of the greatest advantages for Strong Connexions is the opportunity for networking. The Chamber provides a place for business owners and professionals to connect with each other, share resources and build relationships that can lead to new partnerships, collaborations and customer referrals.

Stefani Jensen Strong Connexions
The Chamber has helped me in my personal and business goals because it has given me the chance to get involved, and even lead, in areas of business where I am competent, confident and willing to serve. I was able to lead professional development efforts for three years, which connected me to organization leaders throughout Northern Utah. This gave me credibility, opportunities and introductions to do business with the best organizations in our community.
I am not originally from Ogden; being part of the chamber has helped me get out of my shell, get to know amazing people and learn about all the businesses and sense of community that Ogden holds.
Through the Chamber, I have been able to develop many talents and skills that have blessed my personal and professional life. As members, we are the Chamber. When we show up, connect, lead, lift and help others, we strengthen our relationships and trust with those around us. It then becomes second nature to do business with those who we trust and enjoy working with.
