That makes no sense. I want to vote for "none of the above", but it's not available. Simple, no?

Why isn't there a "none of the above"?

If you're only going for 4 days then Utah is a no-brainer, as you fly right in, and ae surrounded by 10 choices. If you stay direct in Park City, then you can get by without a car, as you have Deer Valley right there as long as you're only going Ikon. You would be making a MASSIVE mistake in...

It has certainly been lousy in Utah. I cancelled my Feb trip after the local buds said that there was only three inches since I was there in January which was barely acceptable. I have had two "powder days" this year, which on the least coast would be epic, but in UT, sorta mundane. I had the...

Flatton certainly has its own issues, and I remember skiing one of their "double diamonds" switch just to show the absurdity of their ratings. One of my proudest moments many years ago was in the Flatton gonjola where some cheerleader said "so where's the best ski area in VT", and my (probably)...

It is now your job as a good father to show them the error of their ways. Do you feed them white bread? Do you drink lite beer? Do you drive a chevy? Do you watch a lot of sitcoms? Nokemo is the blandness of life personified on a ski hill. It's "personality" is completely vapid, with no...

Squamish is a 30-40 minute drive south of WB. Nevertheless, they still have employees.

IKON makes life easy, and that's what the whole quote talks about

Just FYI if you are seriously considering Steamboat- better have an IKON: To our loyal Steamboat family, There are so many reasons we are looking forward to winter- being out in the fresh mountain air, the opportunity to connect with friends and family, a chance to return to the place we know...

Steamboat is the Park City side of UTAH, for sure NOT the Snowbird/Alta side. Plenty of mellow cruisers and good overall terrain. The most outstanding thing are the trees over on the right side (looking up). One O'clock, Two O'clock, wonderful trees and you choose how tight you want them. Not a...

They're not 5x better. A solid 3x better without any doubt. ANY doubt.

There's a reason why they're often compared (really). They're all flat and boring. Yes, yes, you can find SOME steeps if you really look for them, but it's for sure the worst of the I-70 areas. I mean for a place that big, the plethora of meh is just astounding. And, well, you DO know that...

Breckenflat is the CO equivilent of Okemo which is essentially white bread. No personality, bland, and everything looks the same as the last one. Keystone is a lot of fun with a lot to explore (intermediate trees too) and cat skiing that, on a powder day, is fantastic, and Steamboat has more...

3. ONe at WB, one pair in SLC and 1 at my house. Reading comprehension is a valuable life resource: I have a box in the garage that probably has another 5-6 pairs in trying to get them exactly right". Seems you need a picture And yes, they're all ready for Therm-ic heaters and stuff. But, as...
