So im thininking about taking a solo ski trip. I want to head west and hit somewhere ive not visited a bunch, been to CO a ton. I was considering Jackson Hole but it gets costly when your going solo. Ive never done a solo ski trip before so looking for some tips and locations I should consider.

I personally, would get an epic local pass, fly into Reno, rent a car, drive 30 mins and stay in south lake Tahoe. You can ski heavenly and party on the sunny days, or drive 40 mins to Kirkwood and get rowdy on powder days.

If you go on a holiday weekend, you could crush the Tinder game too for something to do apre ski.

Not looking to do any of that. When I search Google for solo trips its all about that. In a relationship but she cant go with work.

Does epic local pass have blackout dates?

Idk, haven't had one in years.

Other option is to ski at telluride/Silverton, then spend a day or two exploring moab/canyonlands, which is only 2.5 hrs away.

Ive been looking to go out to Utah next year (scary how soon that is) in February and 3 day passes for Snowbird and Brighton can be pretty cheap. Air BNB in Salt Lake City is super easy and im sure you could rent a car or find someone on here to hitch rides up with.
