That's it, I'm coming. Don't think I can do it before xmas though. :-( Early January will be like what, typically? Below freezing in the city? Maury

Speaking of, how does one FIND this equipment? Are there any good sites out there for us parents looking to take the kids skiing? I'm going to take my 5 year old skiing for the first time this year. I would like ANY and ALL advice on what to take and what to expect. She's fairly strong (ballet...

It's a bit surprising really. They don't really have the location of Nakiska going for them, nor the skiing of, well, pretty much anywhere. And hell, T-bars? Seriously... Maury

I actually signed up for a lesson there, although I can't remember what level it was. Sadly my legs gave out completely around noonish and I cancelled. I was planning on starting at Alta this year anyway. Solitude is nice (and the name accurate) but the terrain at Alta was much more what I was...

Amazon had it for $15 cdn, which seems super-fair. It's on the way. Maury

I'm definitely going to come out again this year, likely a little earlier so I can work on my form before heading to Calgary. Thus my question. Every time I take a lesson I seem to improve tremendously, which suggests I have a long way to go. So far I've got to the point where I can handle...

Yeah, and the huge sidewalls of snow on the road was pretty impressive too!

Yeah, I just saw your post. My flight out was at 7:20AM, so Sat was out. Too bad too, I was feeling seriously strong on Friday and would have likely tackled just about anything if I had a guide. Were you around Friday too? I just need to get better in the bumps. Right now I can handle anything...

I debated where to go for my last day; I didn't want to stray far because I had the flight out to consider. I had planned on going to Snowbird, but after my legs gave out half way through Thursday I was a little worried and decided to go to Brighton instead. I can't say I enjoyed Brighton...

Well now I understand what everyone is talking about. Don't get me wrong, Solitude is fun, but Alta is what I think about when I think "big hills". Wednesday was amazing. That fluffing we got on Tuesday hadn't skiied off yet, so on my warm-up runs on the blues under Collins were on fresh snow...

Well as the guys here said, 50 degrees in the valley means nothing on the hill. All that consternation for nothing, it's still winter on the hills. I spent the first day skiing laps off of Eagle to get my legs back in shape, and took an advanced lesson as well. Seems I've been skiing these...

I took a quick look at the weather report (yeah, I know) before I pack up for tomorrow -- 50 degrees mid-mountain on Solitude all week long, somewhat colder in the Park City areas, potential for rain at least a couple days out of the week across the entire area. :-( First ski trip in two years...

Well it's a done deal. The Canadian version of travelocity, expedia, had round trip flights for a shocking $295 everything in, in CAD. That's about $250 or less US, and about 1/2 of what it was going to cost me to get into Calgary for some time at Sunshine. Geez, monopoly air-carriers... great...

First off, thanks to everyone who replied. I was leaning towards SLC due to the easier all-around travel - getting in and out is a lot easier than at Jackson's. All the comments I received talked about variety of both pricing and terrain, and that's the clincher. Actually I didn't post here in...

I know this will release a flurry of people saying "this place is best" (my apologies in advance), but I think I might be able to narrow it down a bit... I normally ski the east, being from Toronto, but it looks like pretty much all of Canada is wiped out this year, so it looks like I'll be...
