My wife is having eyelid surgery at the University of Utah on January 4. She needs to stay in SLC for a follow-up on January 11. She is going to be laid up for a good part of that time, but the surgeon said I should come prepared to ski. She doesn't really want to stay in a regular hotel room...

Hello all, Starting to plan a trip to Utah. Want to stay in Alta Snowbird area. Anyone have a suggestion for a reasonable on mountain condo? We may or may not have a car, so would like to walk to lift or be right on shuttle line. Of course ski in ski out would be great, but probably out of...

Hopefully it ok to ask for this and I have asked in the right area. I will be in Park City in February 2018 . I was hoping the ski school would have a multi day lesson program happening then but unfortunately not so. In fact the ski school doesnt offer group lessons above a fairly low level...

Just read an article on Powder (http://www.powder.com/stories/features/scenes-biggest-winter-generation/), and it contained this anecdote about Mammoth last year: After 104 inches in five days, the upper mountain opened on January 24 under blue skies.... I got in the gondy line early and... was...

Beaver Mt. is a mom and pop ski area located near Logan, UT in Utah's Bear River Mountains. Beaver gets plenty of fresh snow 400"+ on average and has a respectable vertical drop ~1600'. Sheltered between two parallel ridges the Beaver Mt. Often has pristine snow conditions that keep well after a...

On Snowbird's FB. Snowbird's response:Greg thought we were "Too Advanced", for our core guest it's why they come back year after year. Can't make these things up.

Does anyone have access to the unofficial guides for Alta and Snowbird that used to exist on EpicSki? I used them last season to acquaint myself with the resorts, and they really mapped out a nice approach to skiing these places. I have an upcoming trip with a couple of LCC noobs, and wanted...

Does anyone have any experience with Deer Valley or Park City Mountain during the MLK holiday weekend? My kids have Mon and Tues off from school so from that perspective it's a good time for a trip. At this point, it does not appear that lodging or flights are out of line with cost expectations...

Planning my first trip out west to either Colorado or Utah. It will be my son (age 11) and I only. Planning to fly out on February 28th and return on March 4th. These dates align with the school calendar on some days he is out. He is an expert level snowboarder and I'm an expert skier. I'm...

I would welcome recommendations for a family ski trip (two adults and a nine year old) over the x-mas break (Dec. 25 - Jan. 1)? Our two priorities are few crowds and direct flight from NYC / no more than 1-2 hour drive from local airport. Decent conditions/terrain would be nice as well :)...

i am looking at taking a spring break trip with my daughter. This will be her first ski trip out west. We are both advanced skiers. I am pretty open to anywhere inside the US. I just want to find the place that will have best coverage and value. I've been to Keystone and think that would be nice...

I am sure this was part of the discussion of the purchase. Do you think Dear Valley will now have to offer snowboarding, if so when?

2018 Gathering Lodging & Transportation thread. Something new this year….a thread about lodging. It is designed to give first timers to Utah a little insight and perhaps give us all a way to better connect after skiing (for those in SLC mostly) and PERHAPS organize some carpools. For those of...

First the best wines started coming from Napa Valley rather than France. Now the best lobstah roll hails from -- wait for it -- Utah? not the Maine Coast??? Yes, Freshies Lobster Co. in Park City has won the World's Best Lobster Roll. Let your drawn butter sink into that! Freshies is located...

A Guide to Skiing Snowbasin by Kyle Jones Driving up the access road gives a good view of what awaits. A series of four sharp peeks cradling four or (arguably) five different drainages with large open bowls, muscular ridges and large stands of fir, aspen and scrub oak. The mountain is both tall...

Lets get this party started.... 1. Philpug 2. Tricia

A suit has been filed on behalf of Ed Bailey and his wife Penni Bailey regarding a ski accident at Deer Valley. The suit claims that Deer Valley was preparing an area for a World Cup Freestyle event and had not posted warning signs after doing some prep work the night before. He suffered a...
