Zand, I certainly hope that you were NOT in BCC today. I drove up to Brighton to ski a few hours this evening. Absolute zoo. I have never seen that many cars up there. At least for me nearly everyone was leaving.

Hah! While that sounds like amazing fun, we're not coming until March. Found out the wife is preggers and her OB/GYN is vehemently against her downhill skiing. We could have cancelled, but she wants to come and just do non-ski stuff since she loves Utah. Dunno is there will be enough snow for XC or snowshoeing at lower elevations, but that's a possibility. As is spas, shopping, etc.... Prolly wont do the booze tastings though!
This angers me greatly. Lives are going to be destroyed for "drunk driving" while not actually being remotely "drunk". That said, do people take this into consideration when booking a trip? I cant imagine picking or denying a destination because I'm worried I could get nailed with a bogus "DUI" after a mere 2 beers.
Plus cheap mass tranny or free public tranny if you're in Park City.
That said, how many first-time tourists know this?
CONGRATS!!!!!
We are NOT going to start a discussion about public transit in Park City. :lol:
SLC will give Denver a run for its money in the coming years. All speculation on my part.
Thanks. It's wreaking havoc on my 2019 skiing though. I imagine it only gets worse.![]()
The first couple years you negotiate with your wife for time off.
Yes, this!The first couple years you negotiate with your wife for time off. Third or fourth year you get very familiar with the beginner slopes!
I've been reading old threads here, already learned the, "buy one lift ticket and use an extra zip tie" trick.

Thanks to jimk and thetrailboss for helpful advice! I went to the local ski shop where we got the season rentals, and at 77 under foot, I'm already on their widest available. We will be renting demo skis at AJ.I agree that out of that list Snowbasin will be the least crowded.
Ski N See and AJ are pretty similar. You can also look to Utah Ski and Golf.
Yeah, RFID is putting an end to that. Some places (Bretton Woods?) offer a parental lift ticket, so the parents can switch off and take turns watching the little ones.

We will be hitting the slopes starting Thursday which looks to be windy, and I'm wondering if anyone have any advice on wind. Between Alta and Snowbird, which has more green/blue trails sheltered from wind or glades with gentle slopes? Would mineral basin be very windy? My 10 year old son is an advanced intermediate (at places like Mt. Snow, Okemo, Sugarbush, Stowe), and likes powder, moguls and gentle glades, but doesn't like it when it is too windy.
Thanks!

Thank you! Only beginning to understand the ski ramifications of what I've done.

Just arrived this morning and went to Solitude. Lot was full so had to park in the road. Didn't really have to wait in lines but it was busy for sure. Locals are pissed that it's on Ikon now lol.
Left around 3:15...lots of traffic heading down the canyon and one 5 minute backup but otherwise it flowed fine.
