The web page is gone.... I think the best thing is to pick a date and the people that want to go can bounce prices off each other. Looks like you had the best rates anyway Z. Thoughts?

Well, for now I'm planning on going the first and/or the second week of March. Not written in stone and I am flexible, would be fun to get a group together, but I would like to start working on airline tix now to get the best rates. The place we stayed at last year was the Best Western in Sandy Utah, decent rates, good hotel and pretty central to both Cottonwood Canyons, thanx Tirolerpeter! Their package price has gone up and they don't show the same amount of options as last year, but they are flexible. i.e. you don't use a lift ticket, you don't get charged. http://www.bestwesterncottontreeinn.com/sandy/specials.htm

Looks like I'll be in Salt Lake City from February 24th until March 3rd. Can't wait
What's the story, stupid question, but going skiing? Is that date set in stone or are you flexible?

It's a set thing. We're having a carving course at Brighton/Solitude Feb 26-March2nd and then we'll have three extra days to just ski at other resorts (2/24, 2/25, 3/3).
We'll be staying at Brighton Lodge but we are renting a car, since it's like a dead place after 4pm.

Good idea getting a car. When we were out there last season, we didn't get one at first, but got one by the second day. Public transportation is good there and will get you between the mountains, but a car is better, you set your own schedule.
Definately go to Alta/Snowbird. Maybe we'll see you there

Alta/Snowbird is sure thing. I've been there last year (on exactly the same trip) and loved it! Brighton is nice too, I think it's a more local hill, very popular with snowboarders. I'm planning to try two new resorts this year, still undecided, though.
Let me know when you finalize your trip plans and maybe we can get together :beer:

We had a great time at Solitude and hear that Snow Basin is supposed to be great.
Can't do it on the east coast, maybe we'll have more luck on the west coast

I'd say we think about a date first, I would like to start making travel plans. You guys can figure out the shacking up part later.

Until I know the dates of a seminar I have to attend (either late Feb or mid March) I can't commit.

I haven't been following this thread for while. What is the general plan? I may be able to join the party.

Unless it's changed, the general plan is to head out to Utah this season, late February early March time frame. However, we do need to start planning at this point. Me personally I have been starting to look at airline tickets so far and am thinking of going late February, early March. Unless others chime in and decide on a different date.

Currently I'm in lovely Iselin NJ March 15-19. It could change to Boston in late Feb, but I'm not holding my breath. For now I'll say earlier is better for me (athough we should probably avoid Pres. day weekend.

FYI, I plan on making reservations for myself today. I'm looking at either the last week of February or first week of March.

Actually, I was looking at 2/22-3/2, looking to keep the airline price down. I plan on making reservations this evening, I'll let you know what I come up with.
