    Yellowstone Winter (3/7) and Summer (6/23-26/2013)

    Sorry to bug, how much time to do the "requisite" West Yellowstone tour? We plan to arrive just after breakfast either from Driggs or Big Sky, that is, on way up to or back from Big Sky. Or actually maybe just sleep in WY after skiing one day.

    Brighton/Solitude v. Sbird/Alta

    Tks, but don't put me in beginner category, much better than that. Maybe this post was overlooked: http://www.skiutah.com/winter/members/s ... tubevideo2 I ski like this guy, just not as pretty.

    Brighton/Solitude v. Sbird/Alta

    Good observation, never actually picked poles while in boots/skis, which makes one maybe up to 2" taller? Can someone tell me: Benefits of longer skis v shorter??? Control? Ease of skiing? Speed? Tighter turns? I haven't a clue. This would be for us moving from 150 to 160?? Or is that...

    Well, we jumped the rope and skiied downtown on last day, last run!!!! We will return to CB and Tride, with Taos and Wolf thrown in, probably some Easter vacation when it falls in early March. This Easter it's Banff et al, next one Mammoth.

    What do youse think may be the main reason for not controlling longer skis? Stance?

    Brighton/Solitude v. Sbird/Alta

    I think this trip will nhot only be as grand as all our ski trips, but an eye (and probably terrain) opener since I DEFINITELY WILL TAKE LESSONS specifically to move into better skis, and to learn the gift of powder skiing. Thank you ALL for such earnest and well-intentioned advice, gracias...

    "Dad, you're faster than me, but you ski ugly" My son,14 y/o, and a natural athlete (national swimming champion until 12, now national best midcourt/forward soccer sub-15). Not bragging, just some background. He skies gracefully, anything, tireless! Me, ski, NOT slide, anything 'cept bumps...

    Mornin`! Looking into Utah SUPER PASS Ski & Stay, as low as $170/night, 4 days ski for 2 pax. Are these 2 lesser knowns worth skipping Alta and Snowbird for 1 day each, to ski LSG (long steep groomers)?? Gracias!

    Flight Taxes in Dr have always been almost as much, and sometimes more than the flights themselves, plus monopolies here and there, kickbacks, etc. Example, same dates MIA-SLC on AA $295, SDQ-MIA $450...... It is what it is, a royal pain in the arse, and a complete rip-off.

    Precisely my read on Pebble, and exactly my plans with GT; hitting it on way to Big Sky, and if we likey, we hit it again on way back to JH. Last night bought air, AA roundtrip SDQ-SLC, $709 each, and 12,000 miles added, bringing me to closer to 2 free tkts for my possible easter foray to...

    Gracias Tony, we NEVER rent at ski areas, always at shops, and they are always very accomodating because of many days. Yes, we are keen on moving up our level, and lesson are the only way. Someone mentioned Pebble in Idaho, just off Pocatello, been there? Looking at it for break between slc...

    The reason for 150 is turning ease, just can't do much with lengthier planks. Will definitely try longer this trip, maybe finally moving into better skiing! Gracias all. BTW, not hauling, ever, from DR. We rent where we ski. But like last year we'll try to buy used for better price than...

    I'd like to see a video of Liz. Then we can compare skills, and only skills, 'cause anybody skies prettier than me \:D/ Tony, I'm renting 153-5 length, 95-100 width, and telling the shop that Tony said to do that, that'll make 'em honest. Gracias all, will advise as we near ETD. Un abrazo...
