Alta: None

Bird: None - very minimal

Birhgton: Rails are pretty dope but the jumps take the park crew a while to set up and they are not very big. Still a pretty fun lap though.

Solitude: I'm not entirely sure but I don't think they have a park

if those are the only resorts you're hitting, don't bother taking park skis. if you want to ride park, go to park city, canyons, snowbasin, or even powder mtn. there is entirely too much fun terrain at alto or bird, even on a bad snow day, to be wasting time in the park.

One does not travel to the Cottonwoods for park skiing. I hope you are bringing some fat skis and a snorkel.

This. You wont need jumps when you'll have pillow lines and big burly cornices to play with. Brighton has some fun park features but dont waste your time in the park if its a pow day.

Skip the park and make laps on Chad's. There is a thread with directions. If you like doing rails on your skis and not up your nose go to PC.
