Trying to plan a trip, never been to Utah...looking for some advice (not punk ass bitches reppin' their home mtn).

Basically, I'm trying to decide if the alta/bird pass is the way to go and stay in LCC or maybe take it easy in SLC and ski PC on dry days and when the snow falls go to Alta.

anyway...
1)How do the park's compare?
2)What's the terrain like at the snowbird because I hear PC doesn't have much going for it there?

Thanks...

Every one of those points can be answered differently depending on when you're planning your trip.

well, first off, your locations are kinda whack. If you are going to be skiing at Alta/Snowbird, you want to be staying in SLC, (more likely sugar house or sandy), if you want to be skiing at Park City then dont stay in SLC; Stay in Park City. That is all I have to say. If you want park go to PC, but dont expect too much epic powder at PC

well if you going over winter break then you have to realize pc and the bird will be the two most crowded places. i would suggestion brighton/solitude over winter break or head north to powder mountain

How about you just find a place i sugarhouse or something, then if it dumps while you're hear, drive your happy ass up to the LCC or BCC and hit anything there. It'll be sick. If it doesn't, go to PC and dick around in the park. If it's a few inches, and you wanna do both, go to Brighton. It has some sick shit for when it dumps, and if the "dump" doesn't end up epic, just go play in the park.

WAIT. FUCK that. go to Breck or anywhere in CO. It's so much sicker, and more ski areas and cooler people and less crowds.
