We are heading to SLC the first week of March. Of the Ikon destinations, which is generally the least crowded on weekends? Our first day skiing will be a Sunday and last day a Saturday if there is anything left in out legs. Edit: Sorry, forgot to put the prefix in and I don't see an option...

Couple of questions I was hoping to get answered. For SLC should Powmow and Snowbasin be planned as essentially their own trip? I see lodging can be found between the two for fairly good pricing on VRBO type sites. That makes doing 2 days at each of these hills very tempting. There seems to...

I apologize if I missed this if answered in earlier thread, but I’m wondering if someone could give a Pugski-style breakdown of the 4 cottonwood resorts. I have an IKON pass this year and will be able to ride at least 2/4. I’d like to try my hand at the more moderate off-piste stuff because...

So, I hit what I consider the best jackpot possible at work. I'll have a work-paid trip to Salt Lake City during winter! Of course, this means a chance to sneak in a day or two on the mountain. Basically, I plan to stay in a hotel Friday night, ski bell-to-bell on Saturday, and then catch an...

This is a recap of a successful roadtrip I made through the Northern Rockies with my wife and son over the span of about three weeks in March 2018. I used the Mountain Collective Pass (MCP) and covered 2,000 mi while resort-hopping from Salt Lake City to Calgary. We skied at eight excellent ski...

Last season lasted until May 13th, hopefully we get a longer season this time. After the season ended I quickly segued into camping and fishing, doing quite a lot of each from the spring into the fall. Got to float and fish a lot of new to me water, good times with good friends...

Any comments on this Hampton Inn for visiting Brighton / Solitude? https://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/utah/hampton-inn-salt-lake-city-cottonwood-SLCCWHX/index.html Have some Hilton points that I want to burn up, and it seems like it is the 'closest' to those IKON areas. We stayed at the...

We're visiting SLC for the week heading into the MLK weekend. Any tips for us first-timers out there? Best ski areas to ski in, best rental shops for good/cheap demos, what skis to bring -- wide, easy flexing skis because there will be lots of soft snow on-piste in Jan or regular carving skis...

I'm researching DV hotels and would love to hear about experiences people have had there. Last time we skied DV - which was a long time ago - we stayed in condos that were in Park City proper. Ideally looking for something that is * family friendly * has a shuttle to DV or is close * offers...

First snow of the season last night at Alta - wont be long now!!!

hi All, Planning a guys trip to Alta and looking for a place to stay preferably slope side, but open to cool places nearby too. There are four of us so appreciate recommendations. Thanks, Dov

I asked this in the Aspen thread too, but I want to get the opinion of you Utah fans too ;-) Would your pick be Copper/Aspen-Snowmass or Salt Lake City area for Presidents’ Day week? Why one over the other? Ikon Base pass. Skiing Friday 2/15 - Saturday 2/23.

Kind of old news now but saw the post about the new COO at Squalpine and it reminded me. https://www.powder.com/stories/irish-soccer-player-came-run-one-americas-oldest-ski-resorts/

I'm Planning a trip to Alta next season, most likely I will rent skis out there. I figure it will be best to rent in order to have the best skis for conditions at the time. In any case, I found the usual rental/demo shops is there anything more obscure I should be aware of?

the music it is in the silence of the snow.

I live in Florida...need I say more ;) but man oh man I know its only April 9th but I just know in a few months it will be August and I will be setting my plans for next winter. I didn't get to go this winter so I'm dying here (but I heard this season wasn't the best). I can't wait for next year...
