As far as I know only Kirkwood, Tahoe, and Mammoth, ca and Grand Targhee, wy get as much as alta, brighton, snowbird, powder mountain, and solitude, that's 500 inches avg. Also the snow is very dry, so yes they are as good as people say. As mentioned before they are all close (30 to 40 miles) to downtown so you can wake up and go to which ever one got the most snow that day. check it http://travel.yahoo.com/p-ski-525261-ski_resorts-i Sean |
