Well Dave, as you can see Andyzee and myself were a big help.

Ha...We just wanted to start with something. Sandy is in the works and those dates are just a starting point.

My kids' school vacation is typically the 3rd week of Feb., so those dates probably wouldn't work for me. But - I understand this is just a starting point, so let me know if you make changes. I will keep my eye on this thread.

Didn't see any info on airfare deals - is your agent working on that as well?

We would need to pick the date before we start looking at airfare. It might be best for people to get that on there own. But its still early.

Tahoe..

But it doesn't matter - I really hoping to get to interior BC again... But I'm always in for a Tahoe, Utah or JH trip...

Another good option is Summit Co., Colorado... Lot's of ski choices and great beer...

Oh and in Utah you have to buy non 3.2 beer at the same place you buy your booze.. Grocery stores sell the crap... Utah does make it tough to get a good beer..

Here's the link for Best Western Ski packages in Utah. Once again, not sure how the price may change for the next season. http://www.cottontree.net/ski/

One thing that has been pointed out is that these rates do not include tax which would add $10 to 15 per day. One other thing is that there is no airport shuttles which wouls bring the price even higher. All in all I think both packages work out to about the same.

This is true, but one important thing is the fact that this hotel is 12-14 miles from the resorts as opposed to the 25 miles that SLC is from the resorts. Another thing is, they provide bus tickets to the resorts, although by the second day I decided to rent a car anyway.

There is an update for places to stay. The Crystal Inn has been added to the list of places. It is located near Sandy and the price is about the same as the other option but with a free breakfast and better location.

Damn, you mean there was no free breakfast with the other one! JK . I don't care about $20 bucks one way or the other, I just wanna ski! The closer to the mountains the better. For now, I'd say I'm up for it.

Just in case anyone is still thinking of Jackson Hole as an option here, read here about the many good reasons to not go there next season:

Bumping this so people can see the proposal.

Should make it a sticky, this is not a typical AZ gathering. This would insure that people don't forget about it. For me the location and time frame sound good, I may still lean towards the Best Western at Sandy, but I'm flexible.

We always stay at the Residence Inn at the base of Big Cottonwood. When up north we stay at Wolf Creek Inn. I'll prolly be up there at least twice next year so I could plan it around this. Unless this deal is better than what we can get. Depends on our timeshare status. I do prefer Little Cottonwood but Powder Mountain and Snowbasin can be very good. Real beer is about 2 bucks a bottle at the state liquor stores and booze is about 30 % more expensive than NY prices. But you won't be drinking that much anyway as the exhaustion kicks in about 2 to 3 hours after you are done for the day.

 

[andyzee]

We're a long ways off, but I would suggest we see how many people we have that are interested and then see about working out the best deal.

Sorry I'm too lazy to read the whole thread .. . Does this include airfare? If so it is a good deal. if you stay at the Crystal INN. I believe you can want to many chain restaurants near the mall for dinner.

I found a condo in Eden (2 bedroom) for $700/week at the base of Powder Mtn. Heading out 1/27ish- 2/10ish. If anyone's around during that time shoot me a PM and we can hook you up with a tour of Powder or Snowbasin..

Airfare isn't listed so I would have to assume that it is not included.
