Thanks for the report - good pics

Thanks again to all

Yup - when we visit - it is going to be a weighing of factors, time with friends, driving distances and skiing needs. Spoiled by our friends who live in Park City and flying into SLC where everything is in play

Thanks, that is what I figured - Everywhere else looks like a pretty big hike

I have what is probably a dumb question but I have never skied in Colorado. I have friends moving to Boulder - if you were squeezing in skiing while also having to visit Boulder, what would the best options be? Thanks - need a mountain with varied terrain as my wife is a low intermediate skier.

Too true - the fact that I usually ski for free there does not hurt either. I started skiing fairly recently (last 7 years or so) and started 1 day a year, then 2 etc. and now only ski 11-12 days a year so I am not looking for the super-challenging terrain that everyone else here is looking for.

I know it takes a beating on the boards, but I like Deer Valley - I ski there every year - it is my friends who live in Jeremy Ranch home mountain (and I usually score free lift tickets). I skied DV this past week except for Sunday and PCMR was way more crowded - not sure how that correlates...

Cool. I skied PCMR for the first time on Sunday. Although they were having trouble with lifts, I had a good time. Was way more crowded than Deer Valley though. Did you ski Lost Prospector/Dynamite/Newport? How about Glory Hole? Both were extremely fun on Sunday.

I was at PCMR on Sunday too, funny. My wife took the day off as did our friends, but they had a free lift ticket to PCMR so off I went. Fun day. Had never skied there before and the trails are not well marked. Glory Hole was sweet as was the Lost Prospoector/Dynamite/Newport loop I did a...

Absolutely - my daily weather and condition checking can start now I guess as I anxiously wait for my January trip.

Snowbird's cams make it look like it has gotten a lot of snow

I'll be in the Park City area Jan. 8-13 and then probably again in March.

Fair enough, I defer to you guys who know a lot more on the subject.

Agree on the late March issue although this year may be an exception due to snow volume etc. Last March 23-26 I was in the Park City area and it was very warm (with a freeze over at night) and by 1:00 it was basically unskiable for me and time to quit. Big difference this year (a little more...

There is a Surefoot at PCMR - my Park City friends use that. Lots of overpriced food - Snake River Grill in Heber was very good (we tried it for the first time this trip). For lower priced food, I like Good Thymes and Loco Lizard in Kimble Junction Have had good/great meals at Steins...
