Iv'e done some searching on where the best skiing is in UT and come up with nothing grand, but some help would be fantastic. I am driving down from fairbanks AK to where ever the skiing is best and I can find a job and a place to stay.If anyone has a decently priced room message me. i ski, getting tele gear, do backcountry adventures, ceramic artist on the wheel, work out, bike, climb, and all that good out doorsy shit.

I am planning on buying some season passes, if anyone has an idea on which places would be the best and for what reason that would be fantastic. I really am coming down for the powder and cliffs, but i also enjoy lapping the park.

any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks bobby

If your looking to ride pow and cliffs then id say look into the Little cottonwood canyon with alta or snowbird.  Im a bird fan myself.  If you still want to have a decent park to ride when conditions are shitty at a mountain that still has some really good riding (though the vert is small so that can get annoying) id say look into brighton, Solitude is way underrated in my opinion as far as super fun drops and steeps and like the name implies, from what i gathered on an epic powder day, no one goes there so it says fresh all day.  For straight park you'll wanna look into PC or the canyons, I know im going for a brighton and a bird pass this season.  As for a roommate im looking for one my self.  Hit me up with a pm.

yea basically what the guy above me said, you will like brighton which has a really fun park along with drops, easy sidecountry and backcountry access, but not a ton of vert, or snowbird or alst which are steeper more big mountain oriented but dont have a park worth mentioning at all. but there are always people looking for roomates around here i feel like so that shouldnt be aproblem.

long drive maaan.  i got some friends goin from anchorage in a couple weeks. 
sounds like you should check out brighton for the shred spot.  although altas terrian is probably more rad.  but btown has some REAL ill zones as well as a fun park.  which you wont find at alta.

it is hard to go wrong with any bcc or lcc resort. i personally like lcc for the simple fact that they got 783inches of snow and there was lift access til july 4th. more jumps than park city and brighton combined you just have to find them
