Hey switched plans...going to SLC instead of whistler cuz of all the fucking rain. I've been out to alta and snowbird plenty, we'll hit that, but I wanted to check out the canyons too, heard their parks are pretty good...any suggestions?

Yea I was at Snowbasin a year before the olympics...it was pretty good, didn't quite have the terrain I was hoping for, but still fun. Lots of untouched even though it hadn't snowed in 4 or 5 days. Thanks for the suggestions.


im fuckt.

It's a lot quicker to get to wolverine from alta than solitude plus you can ski down grizzly on your way back to the car. I hear canyons is the biggest resort in park city but I also heard their park doesn't hold a candle to PC's


We pay our debt sometimes.

Ive only been to PC once, hiked jupiter, but really didnt like it for how much i paid. dhavent hit deer valley, but dont want to. My dad was out at the canyons and loved it, but he sticks to his rear entry salomons and 192 elans on the blues so...

if you actually wanna ski, dont go up to park city. if your low on cash and wanna play in a park, brighton ($41 lift tickets) has a pretty fun park, nothing crazy, but you can def have fun in it, plus tons of super easy to access backcountry. otherwise, just stick to little cottonwood if you can afford it
