Good luck out there!Thanks for this, I was actually going to ask if there was either a "western Alpinezone" or a Utah specific ski forum.
As for the relocation, it's absolutely exhausting, I feel like I havent stopped working in over a month. Our stuff arrives tomorrow, so hopefully that's the end of the stress. I will say the drive was, in retrospect, a dream. Almost 2,200 miles, and not a single bit of traffic, not caught in a single accident backup, and not even construction delays. Thinking about it now, that seems almost impossibly improbable.
You made it. See you on the slopes.Door to door - with overnight stops in Ohio, Iowa, and Wyoming. Something like 29 or 30 hours of drive time.
I'll still check in here as I'll always want to know how all ski things are going out east!

I’ve done i90, i80 and i70 across the country, in my opinion 90 is the most dramatic change from high prairie to mountain landscape. Montana SR2 is the most dramatic I’ve seen of all with Glacier NP slowly climbing into the sky ahead of you. It truly is an amazing experience….What time of day did you hit the front range? Freinds have always equated it to old time exporers spotting the new world. Land Ho! or in your case Mountains Ho!
The longest drive on my life was from Bryce Canyon to Purgatory Mountain Base with my buddy who lived there. 7 1/2 hours. I hated that so I can't imagine cross country. Nope I'm out!
What time of day did you hit the front range?
Congratulations on your escape from the Peoples Republic of New Jersey. We don't need people like you leaving but they somehow succeed in driving them out anyways.
Utah is a great platform for exploring the west.
