PC for park, alta/bird for pow.

As for dorms, since youre coming in the middle of the year you might not have much choice.

i did bird last two seasons, best terrain in utah, but canyon closes every snow storm and its a cluster fuck. Brighton is fun for pow/bc access.

Alta or Bird for snow.

Brighton is stupid. The only advantage is less crowds. besides that, the park is beat as hell, and there's nothing about the terrain that makes it better, unless you like traversing a quarter mile, dropping one cliff, and traversing out. I mean, you can do that all day, but why would you?

PC or Canyons for park. I know a lot of people getting a canyons pass this season, I think it's going to be a really great time.

sorry to thread jack but im transferring out to the U in january too and was wondering what everyone suggests for living arrangements.  Im a softmore right now and ive already been though the whole dorm experience and stuff but if its way legit at the U i would be down.  but i was thinking more along the lines of a house or an apartment. any suggestions?

to everyone trying to pick your living arrangement.  i did NSE last year.  way more important then where your living is getting that premium tuesday thursday or monday wednesday schedule.  do not go to class more then 2 days a week!
