need help planning trip out west flying out of JFK/Laguardia

[long island boarder]

considering Utah as the mountains are close to the airport. Any suggestions for an intermediate boarder? Lodging, we don't need anything fancy. Shuttle from the airport or rent a car? Any other suggestions? Planning on first week of Feb.[/I]

Salt Lake City offers just about everything. Plenty of good intermediate terrain at just about every mountain. Good transportation system if you don't want to rent a car. Even has some nightlife these days. Can't really go wrong there. I like Colorado too. Where ever you go, enjoy.

Seeing as how your from L.I. look into flying SouthWest out of Islip. No doubt you will have some sort of lay-over, but I saved a bunch of money on airfare going this route to Denver lastyear.

No baggage fees is a big plus too. Flying SW to SLC at the end of Feb. Usual transfer is in Chicago. No biggie unless the weather is bad.

I've been lucky enough my last 2 times to Utah on Southwest out of Providence to have my layover (both out and back) be in Vegas. Maybe any extra 45-50 minutes of total flying time, but I know that if I take off from Providence that I won't have any potential snow/connection issues at Midway. And worst coems to worse and there's actually a storm all the way down the the valley floor in SLC that prevents me from getting to SLC that day, I'M IN VEGAS

I'm flying out of Providence and the only layover options were Midway or Phoenix. The Phoenix flights seemed to be a lot longer so I went with Midway.

And just think you don't even have to leave the airport to lose all your money.

I won about $80 on video poker waiting for my plane in September...

It was a nice way to end my trip.

I remember you going but you never reported on the girl who was modeling the tiger print dress.
