sickest terrain is the bird by far. alta and brighton have bird type terrain but not nearly the vertical/consistent fall line the bird has. park city and brighton have the best parks. the furthur u get from the lcc the flatter the mtns get but that doesnt mean there isnt crazy shit.

Get over it, its a 1% difference in alc. by volume. Quit drinking keystone and nattys and you'll have your flavored water problem solved. Besides you can buy all kinds of high point beers at the liquor store.

But back to the topic, plan your trip according to the weather forecast and you'll have a much more enjoyable time. Take a look at the NWS forecast like 3-4 days before you come. Ride Bird/alta on the weekdays because a saturday at snowbird isn't even worth the pass price, just too many people, head to a resort up in Big Cottonwood for the weekend, its a lot chiller up there. Brighton and Solitude both have epic powder stashes that don't get tracked like Bird.

yes it does taste like water, but he is right. 5% is by volume, and 3.2% is by weight. all they do is add a tiny bit of water.  basically 13 normal beers is like 12 utah beers. its just not as good of a drunk cuz its mad waterry but its the truth

lots of beers out there with higher percentage than 5. plus the cost of high point beer is ridiculous when ur gettin 'em at state liquor store, who the fuck buys one beer at a time?

I appreciate the beer advice, but lets stay on topic. Well actually guess that is a worthy topic, haha. I have been told not to party my first night so i canget used to the altitude, any truth to that?

- You say dont ski bird on weekends, what about Alta? Suggestions?

Alta should be okay, Snowbird is just a cluster-fuck. Honestly, ive lost pretty much all respect for the Bird over the last few years. As for the altitude thing, Im not quite sure because I've always been drinking up this high. Just keep yourself in check and you won't have any problems.
