Why wouldn't they pick Snowbird/Alta for powder?


I'd rather ski Mad River Glen in the rain than expose myself to Utards.


If there is a slightly sane part of Utah, Summit County is it. The crazy parts are mainly anything in Utah County, (ie Provo, BYU etc) and beyond.

Any good skiing, whether at the resorts or in the backcountry, one is going to run in or drive through some very conservative and backwards areas. The big paranoia is the government is going to take away their guns, and the BLM is mean to them. The important is not to pass judgement, and go with the flow. It can be a pretty tough and hard scrabble life in many of these areas that are not connected to tourism and ski area real estate.

Much like places like Telluride have a pretty hip town center, it is surrounded by ranchers and others in Montrose County..

If one doesn't like Utah, and needs good Powdah skiing.. well..
