    Skiing from Boulder (p.1, then Random Topics)

    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

    Skiing from Boulder (p.1, then Random Topics)

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

    Skiing from Boulder (p.1, then Random Topics)

    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.

    Deer Valley 3/18/09

    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.

    Deer Valley 3/18/09

    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...

    Park City 3/17/09

    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.

    Park City Mountain Resort, UT - 3/15/09

    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.

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

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

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    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...

    At the Canyons next week: a few questions

    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...

    Solitude and Snowbird, UT 3/9/2008

    It all depends re the miles - we have been pretty lucky using our Delta miles. Flying to SLC tomorrow on miles. We booked the trip maybe 6-7 weeks ago.

    Utah weather

    Thanks, I can't wait. I am pretty sure it is a black out period on the Park City resorts deal on skiing the day you fly in, we looked into it.

    Solitude and Snowbird, UT 3/9/2008

    Jans in Park City often has similar deals to what everyone has already posted about. Last trip my wife picked up a pair of K2s that were virtually new for $300

    Alta, UT 3/8/08

    Same philosophy here regarding Utah - it is so easy to get to, that and our friends live there so our gear resides there as well. Leaving Friday for another visit to the Park City area - hopefully we will get some powder.
