so ive never been out west and im probably going next feb break. my bro wants to go to heavelny and i wanna go to park city. were look for a good park but not huge like has some smaller hits like 20-30 feet (ill admit it, my bro and i are pussies. i wont even spin a 30 footer but it took him a while to spin a 15) and good backcountry. thanks

Park City if you wanna spend entirely too much money for not good skiing.
Alta/Bird if you want some of the best skiing/snow in the world, with a decent enough park to have fun. Snowbird.

my moms bf has a timeshare in orlando, fl but he bought a condo in naples so were gonna try to trade/sell our timeshare for a week somewhere out west. my bro says go to heavenly cause snowbird is on a lake and the timeshares will get sold out faster.

yeah i think your brother might be confused. definitely no lake at snowbird, though there is kind of a big one at heavenly by the name of Tahoe.

Yeah.. Heavenly = Tahoe........ Snowbird = Little Cottonwood Canyon = SLC...... But if he was talking about the Great Salt Lake, he is silly, because when i was there it seemed like half the people in the city don't know it exists.

hahaha...NO ONE in slc goes near the lake. well, almost no one. it smells so bad and you just can't do much there, though the sailing is actually supposedly pretty good and i hear the smell isn't bad away from shore. but it's not an attraction at all. and if you're staying anywhere near the lake, you're pretty freaking far from the resorts.

i don't think that tickets are available for both.... and if so, they're expensive. Plus, you don't need both ski areas in one day. you can spend an entire week just on one Lift at Snowbird. And Alta and Snowbird are actually sorta connected, so they're really close. And yes, multiple day deal are available. Check the website for better accurate details.

a) you can buy alta-snowbird tickets, but they're expensive and not really worth it
b) yes
c) they're next to each other/connected
