i liked alta better than snowbird becasue it had more snow and alta is less busy. But if you want a park go to snowbird but when i was there there park was super small but then again it was the start of the seasson

alta: more sick terrain, but bird= excellent terrain in less quantity (not a local, so maybe just didnt find everything. alte, nobody, bird: guay tram that you have to wait like 30 minutes to get in on busy days

from wat i've heard the 16" that fell was fairly wet snow aka "base building snow" which probably already has turned into hardpack and there are no major storms forecasted until after prez weekend i so wish i was going 1-2 weeks after prez weekend as forecast is looking sweet for then...

alta is sick, much better then the bird. no boarders and its true to the roots, old school > sell outs at snowbird. Can't beat the high traverse and Alta's backside, all snowbird's got goin for it is mineral basin in my opinion, but this was in mid january when there wasn't a ton fresh pow either. Ballroom and wildcat woods will beat the bird anyday, and the backside of high rustler is sick just traverse till there arent any more tracks. frontside of snowbird is steep but when there isn't snow it's rock hard and scraped off.

It's a toss up, but I'd go for Alta. It's got a better vibe.

my experience with alta is that its really only good when you get some fresh snow.

snowbird is better overall though
