I don't think I want to stay in Salt Lake - I don't like "commuter
skiing" vacations much.


....either way, SLC may be the place to try a commuter trip. They had a
great road system to start with and an even better one after the olympics.
You can stay off the highway or downtown for a very reasonable rate,
be within walking distance of restaurants and bars, and the best thing
is that you're 30-45 minutes from several great resorts. Why limit
yourself to only Alta/Snowbird? (not saying you would...)

I hear ya, though. It is nice to get off the slopes and go directly
to a hot tub instead of your car.


Also, something to note, if you land early in the day, you can ski
free the day you land at Canyons, Park City or Deer Valley. Just bring
your boarding pass to the ticket window and you'll get a ticket.
They're trying to promote how close the ski areas are from the airport.
