But, it doesn't get any more complicated than that. There are none.

nope. Utah in general doesn't have much in the way of pillows the snow is pretty dry so it doesn't glob onto rocks and such making for a general lack of pillows. As previous poster said brighton has some tho

theres not really any pillow lines unless you consider powder mogul boosting to be like a pillow line. theres definitely plenty of stuff to send you into the sky though whether its cliffs or natural jumps or even man made jumps into pow. you'll have fun. just remember, its about how you ski it, not just what you ski

Dude, I once sent a 30 ft cliff under there. Its in some tight trees skier's left under Cecret, y'all should check it out.

But in all seriousness, I'm skiing backcountry in the Toledo bowl zone tomorrow and perhaps at the ski area on Friday, depending on conditions. Been loving the classic alta-style s-turns down massive continuous faces, but might want to ski some more technical lines/ cliffs/ booter building. Very tired of hitting rocks and building a booter would only work on a more stable aspect. NW-E is somewhat sketchy.
Let me know if interested, I'm here until the 27th
