Just found out I have to travel to San Jose for some work meetings that end on 1/5. Thinking of staying out and skiing somewhere on the west coast that weekend since work will cover my airfare up to the cost of flying out and back. I have been monitoring the snow pack out there and it appears the PNW and Northern Rockies (MT, WY, and Alberta) have been making out the best so far.
Unfortunately, those are the places that are toughest to get to and where I will have to pitch in the most $$ for airfare (Already looked at Banff and Montana and really expensive to get out there from San Jose and then back).
Easiest places to go would be Tahoe or Mammoth, but they are way behind on snow right now. Next easiest would be Denver or SLC, but again, they are hurting too. Any suggestions on which path to take on where to go? I'd prefer to do SLC, DEN, or Tahoe but not sure if things will improve by the first weekend in January enough to make it worth it. Would likely only have 2-3 days to ski, so limiting driving would be a plus. Any intel or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
