sup ns homies. I am heading to Utah and staying in park city with my girlfriend in February. I want to ski park and film yet I do want to enjoy the powder and bowls since I am from MA. This is my first time heading out there so I don't have a clue what I am getting myself into. So I was wondering what are cool spots to eat/see/experience but more importantly I was wondering what mountains to shred! im there for 8 days and wanted to ski 5 or 6 mountains!

Go to Brighton, best of both worlds

No pow here right now anyways

And hit up local shops that have discounted day lift tickets

if you get a pow day go to Alta,
the day after the pow day go to Brighton and you'll still get lots of untouched lines,
for park go to PC.

This is pretty on point. You can get some pow at PC if you know where to go, but it isn't on the level of the Cottonwoods

You gotta spend your time in the Cottonwoods(little and big) for the bowl and pow skiing.  The park is the only good thing in Park City if you ask me...

SnowBasin is north of SLC.  Gonna be a ride from Park City.  Deer Valley is fun if your drunk and have no ambition to hit any pow or air.  Canyons is comparable to PC(Good parks at both).  The most snow though ALWAYS falls in the Cottonwoods.

Definitely check out the Cottonwoods. They're really pretty.

And don't be afraid to go back to a resort for a day or two. I would honestly spread your time between Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Park City and maybe Canyons depending on the weather.
