I'm looking for trail recommendations at PCMR for two upcoming trips( Feb 9 to 11 and Mar 8 to 10). The first trip is a guys trip and we will be staying on the Canyons side near Frostwood Gondola. We would like to ski bell to bell. The second trip is with family and we will be near the Park City base area. I will ski the mornings on my own and ski afternoon with my wife (early beginner) and 4 year old daughter (comfortable on magic carpets and bunny runs). I am planning to stick to terrain near the respective base areas to avoid wasting time in traversing and shuttle buses.
I was there for a day last year and only skied the beginner area on Canyons side (High Meadow). I didn't go on any blues there last year. This year I have progressed to a lower intermediate level. I was able to ski the easy blues at Beaver Creek and most blues at Northstar. I really enjoyed the Ax handle and Powder Bowl runs at Northstar. Drifter and Castle Peak were a bit challenging.
I'm looking for recommendations on trails with similar difficulty where I can do a lot of laps and gain confidence. I won't be taking lessons but I will do some drills. I like long trails with consistent grade rather than steep sections and flat traverses. For example I don't like the East ridge & Dutchman combo at Northstar. It would be great to know what areas to go to and how to escape the crowds.PCMR is huge so I it would be good to know where I should go in advance.
Hoping to get some recommendations from people who know this area well. @Wasatchman @tromano?
Thanks in advance!
