Fun place to ski. Not crowded because no lodging. I mainly would ski off of Strawberry Gondola and John Paul Express.
Both times I have been we had a great kitchen so we did a lot of cooking and just hanging out at night. Downtown Ogden has a cool vibe with plenty of good eats.
They recently went with Epic pass.
So I'm looking to take the family (wife plus 3 teenagers) on a trip next Christmas break. What's my best bet for dependable snow that early? Thanks.
Everywhere out west still getting pounded. Have some friends at Alta who were in "interlodge" mode last night due to avalanche danger being so high after 27 inches.
Got back Monday from Aspen/Snowmass with 22 inches the day before I got there, 7 my first day, and 16 my 2nd day. Just absurdly deep. Also, the skiing itself at Aspen tends to get overlooked because of the glitz of the city, but Snowmass and Aspen Highlands are incredible (and very difficult) mountains.
Did you hike the bowl at Highlands, tigerswood?
Snowbasin was awesome. Strawberry and John Paul were the place to be, but overall, the ability to bounce out of groomed runs into trees was just fantastic. The lodges/dining were amazing and the fact that there were no lift lines was incredible.
Heading to Keystone on Sunday and have a 4-day pass that includes both ABasin and Keystone. Skiing with the family at Keystone most of the time, but hoping to sneak over one morning to ABasin with some other dads on the trip. Any thoughts on either mountain would be appreciated.
