Snowbasin is sick on a pow day, it has some legit terrain, and doesn't have crowds compared to other places. I havent skied powder mtn. though.

But since you're staying @ the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon I'd just ski the resorts close by, there's a good variety all very close in that area.

I went to school at weber state for 2 years it sucked balls but i worked at powder mountain and it has some of the best powder skiing anywhere in the area. Basin i skied my second year and it was ok the backcountry and hikeable out of bounds shit it ill as fuck but make sure you watch for avalaches there

this. there's very easily accessible sidecountry stuff, but you're in for a world of hurt if you don't know what you're doing. it gets dangerous really quickly. someone died in a slide when i was out there last year, and he was a very experienced skier too, not some newschoolers kid who wanted fresh pow and ventured off the beaten path...
