    10 am SLC Tuesday arrival

    Thanks for the advice guys. Will check back once more later tonight. I used babelfish to translate the Zoneski description of Sundance and it cracked me up. Here's a sampling, "The photograph of Red Finger Ridge… oh my god...com plètement weak. With extents of deep snow like that, one must...

    10 am SLC Tuesday arrival

    Hello All, We arrive at 10 AM in Salt Lake this Tuesday. Our group of four, (two ride, two ski) would normally hit one of the PC resorts for a free half-day, but we're in the blackout period for this deal We'll do a half-day elsewhere instead, probably Brighton, to take advantage of the...

    LCC Road to close Saturday morning

    Thank you gentlemen. The boys and I are staying at the Homewood in Midvale, so we'll just follow our usual routine. We've never experienced a road closing for avi work, so I didn't know what to expect. Maybe we'll meet up one day. We tried last year at Powder Mtn, but got bit by no cell...

    LCC Road to close Saturday morning

    I'm guessing local TV morning news will have mention of LCC closings, or is there a regular web source I can bookmark? When the road is closed like this, what strategy do you suggest for out-of-towners staying in the city? Wait at the hotel until 8, drive around in circles, or is there a spot...

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    Thanks for all the advice. We're back in Ohio after a good week of Utah skiing. As for the restuarant suggestions.. El Chubasco in PC was perfect. We didn't have a chance to visit others people recommended. The trip did not go exactly as planned. It's 5:30 AM March 25, we're fifteen...

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    Thanks again to everyone for the helpful advice. One look at the seven-day forecast and I can see why the Cottonwoods are the place to be. Time to finish packing. These 6:30 AM departures are tough!

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    Thanks for the helpful information. I'll seriously look at taking my hosts over to the cottownwoods instead of Ogden if it remains warm. Since they have two boarders and and two adults who prefer groomers, I'm thinking Brighton will be a good mix of terrain for them. Can I reach Brighton the...

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    Hello... You guys have been a great help in past years, so we're on our way to Utah for a third year. I'll be staying near the Canyons with my 15 year old and some friends next week. Prior years we've stayed in SLC, so I have a few questions about the Park City area. Food - Earlier this year at...

    Whistler Transportation

    Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. I'll follow up with a trip report later. We're skiing Tuesday through Friday so weekend crowds aren't a concern. I am curious how early one should be at the lift to avoid a wait.. 1/2 hour prior? I'll also check into the alternate routing mentioned...

    Whistler Transportation

    My son and I are driving up to Whistler (first time) this coming Monday from Seattle. I've always taken the precaution of renting a 4x4 when skiing SLC, but is this really necessary for Whistler with it's lower base elevation? Also, since this is our first tine here, any recommendations...

    Snow Basin or Powder Mountain?

    I just returned from skiing Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. Here's the perspective of a dad with three teenagers. As background, we're all comfortable skiing up to single black diamond slopes at both resorts. We all enjoy exploring, aren't big on terrain parks, and prefer trees to trails. We...

    Powder Mountain, UT 2/17/2007 incl. photos & video

    Hey Admin.. My boys and I just arrived back in Cleveland, with its rapidly melting snow. Yep, we found out that cell phone coverage is zilch at pow-mow. Too bad we couldn't hook up that day. Next time. Like you, we had a blast, enough so that we came back on Tuesday for the final day of our...

    Suggestions?: At SLC 2/16-20

    Thanks all for the help. We'll work in Snowbird/Alta for sure. Pow/Mow on Saturday sounds like a real possibility. Right now I'm just waiting for the boys flight to arrive later this evening (I flew in from business elsewhere) so we can decide where to go int the morning.

    Suggestions?: At SLC 2/16-20

    Hello All! My boys and I (from Cleveland, OH) skied Utah for the first time last year and are returning this Thursday evening to SLC for another week of skiing. You folks helped us greatly as first-timers last year, so I am asking for your advice this time around as well. Last year we caught...

    Thanks for the help! Dad + 3 Boys in SLC

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful advice you folks provided before our Mid-January trip to Utah. Simply put, the trip was fantastic. Here's a quick recap. Rented a Chrysler Pacifica from Rugged Rental. Better rates than the big guys, friendly, prompt and helpful. We ended up not...
