Monday Februry 4 I will have 2/3 a day to ski (catching a plane back in the early evening).
Do you think it’s worthwhile to go to Alta or Snowbird for such a short time? I have heard people describe it as “have someone show you around”.
It’s on my list for sure, but I have only 2/3 of a day to ski Utah resorts that weekend, so I worry that going to Alta or Snowbird, I spend more time staying in liftlines and trying to figure out where to go, than actually skiing the good stuff. or would it be better to go back to Big Cottonwood Canyon since I know where to go and can get as much good skiing in as possible?
I am considering making another, longer trip in mid April.
What’s your suggestion and why?
- We have an Ikon pass.
- We skied several days at Brighton and Solitude last year.
- My wife and I are staunchly intermediate skiers, with no interest (or ability) for the extreme stuff.
