I resemble the opposite of that remark.Okay, so apparently DU and I are antipodes in this discussion.

Yep, I love Snowbird. Alta is a close second, and Solitude a third. I have one day lifetime at Deer Valley, so I'd like to revisit it some day. (At the time, Challenger Chute at DV was by far the scariest thing I'd ever skied. I went while my family & friends were eating the then-legendary DV lunch.)Count me among those. I would be totally happy to spend every day at AltaBird. At least in terms of terrain and snow. You know, like, for the rest of my life. Who knows, at this point, about traffic and crowds.
I have not yet had a great day at Snowbasin. I'm sure it's luck of the draw.
Solitude and Brighton are pleasant but don't excite me.
The one place I would really like to try is Pow Mow, under the right conditions.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "Don't ask. Tell."I still don’t have my PTO request approved (grr) and I need to find lodging!
Not really getting the edit. But I can understand the appeal of LCC.Count me among those. I would be totally happy to spend every day at AltaBird. At least in terms of terrain and snow. You know, like, for the rest of my life. Who knows, at this point, about traffic and crowds.

Right now I'm thinking 5 days at Park City and one at Sundance... how's that sound to everyone?I am going to leave it to the gaithermeister to set the official schedule.
I'm open to suggestions/bribes, but most likely is Snowbird, Alta, Snowbird for the first 3 days, then possibly an "official" day somewhere else, then back to Alta.
I'm considering staying an extra week after the Gathering.
Sundance is pretty hot right now.Right now I'm thinking 5 days at Park City and one at Sundance... how's that sound to everyone?

I kind of figured a UT gathering is going to be looser than other locations because of the sheer number of options but I'm totally with you on focusing on LCC.Guess I was thinking primarily lcc with a an alternate bcc day or 2.
I could be talked into a couple days after at DV and/or snowbasin.
What's the consensus on how early that might be on a normal weekday?early to beat the LCC lineup for Snowbird.
No idea. The https://cottonwoodcanyons.udot.utah.gov/canyon-road-information/ has great info for the current day, but it does not seem to offer historical data.What's the consensus on how early that might be on a normal weekday?
@Jim Kenney should be able to answer that pretty easily.What's the consensus on how early that might be on a normal weekday?
