    Where to go and ski for a Northern winter season ?

    I've always wanted to ski for the best part of a northern winter season Skiing as many days in a season as possible, within reason, is something I aspire to do. I'm 57 , recently retired and need to get on to it sooner rather than later I could do it at my local mountain in New Zealand but it...

    Utah Unusual Utah ski season could lead to higher lift ticket prices

    Utah No cheap lodging in Alta/Snowbird

    Hello, Im planning a trip for next year to Alta/Snowbird around February and every hotel is either $500+ or 15 miles away. $500 is way above my budget for a hotel. Usually the hotels I stay in are 200 or less. I've been to Jackson and Whistler and in both places had hotels that I could afford...

    Utah Park City or Whistler?

    i have a conundrum... A buddy of mine is likely going to Park City, for a week, on business at the end of February. He has graciously offered for me to tag along if I like. My expenses would only be my airfare and some food. His business would pick up the car rental, hotel, etc. so obviously...

    Utah Park City in March

    A friend is thinking of doing a bachelorette party in Park City/Deer Valley in March. She is wondering what snow conditions are generally like there that time of year. (I know they don't have a lot of snow now, but what would it be like in a normal year in terms of snow and termperature?) Thanks.

    Utah Snow Guns

    Ok, I will admit it, I am pretty worried about our Trip to Deer Valley Dec 11-21 There is not much snow in the forecast for the next 10 days. I will be pretty unhappy to be on a WROD on a major ski vacation/trip So my question is, how much snow can be made with the snow guns? I could care...

    Utah Little Cottonwood Canyon 2017-2018, Reports, Pics, and Banter

    Today was the first day of operations for Snowbird, Alta has chosen to not open until conditions improve. The first day of the season started optimistically enough, I got up early and had plans on hitting the Bird about 7:45. I knew that wouldn't put me anywhere near the front of the line but...

    Utah 2017-18 Utah Weather & Conditions

    The first real winter storm is about to come through. Warm southwest flow will affect totals in an unpredictable way but models call for 6-12" above 8,000 feet with potential for 12-18" today and tomorrow. It's a relief to see precipitation as it's been an extremely dry summer and fall.

    Snowbird or Snowbasin for lessons?

    My 10 and twelve year old kids can ski most of the mountain but they're at me to let them try snowboarding because it looks 'so cool'. I think I will give them a couple of full day lessons when we're in Salt Lake. They will then see if they like it I guess. Would Snowbasin or Snowbird be the...
