Need to find rental powder skis in SLC + questions about first trip west

I'm doing my first trip out west next week and my hotel is in SLC. I'll be going to Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude and another mountain we have yet to decide. I only have my center mounted park skis and these are mostly so I am looking for a place to rent powder skis for the week in SLC if possible.

I also have a couple other questions. What do you think the conditions will be like next week? Will there be fresh snow or will it be all tracked out? I'm also wondering what ski to rent depending on the snow conditions since I don't know much about powder skis. What other mountain should I go to? We have the choice between PC, Deer Valley, The Canyons and a couple other ones I don't remember.

Thanks & +K for answer

Check out Ski N See for rentals. They have a downtown Salt Lake location at 102 W 500 S. It is also cheaper if you reserve your rentals online.

yeah, gonna be warm this week.. but ill 2nd the 100-110 underfoot comment. If youve never skied fat skis before the Rossi S7s are very easy to ski and dont require a lot of work.. Wasatch Powder Skis also has a pretty sick rental fleet
