Seeking Salt Lake City resort advice
We will be skiing in the SLC area in mid February and I would appreciate some feedback on the resorts there. I know all about Alta because that's where I was introduced to skiing. I have never been to Snowbird, Solitude, or Brighton.
My wife needs a bunny slope or a super easy green, preferably one that is served by some kind of chair lift. A day of using rope tows can make your arms really sore. She also is interested in giving X-country skiing a try. I could probably have fun at any resort in the area, last year we skied at Angelfire, NM and I was enjoying some of that resort's easier blue trails at the end of the trip. Can you access the Park City resorts from SLC by public transportation? Thanks Last edited by Ben 78734 : February 6th 05 at 08:56 PM. |

Hi Ben
We go to Brighton every year and love it. Easy long greens and great blues .... Brighton is the answer. There is a ski bus that takes you to the cottonwood canyon resorts (Brighton included) Check out www.skiutah.com for more info on resorts and the ski bus. Have fun Deven "Ben 78734" wrote in message ... We will be skiing in the SLC area in mid February and I would appreciate some feedback on the resorts there.

Brighton or Solitude fit the bill. Solitude has a nordic cross country ski
area. Both are adjacent and on the same lift ticket if you buy the SolBright pass. Park City may not be accessible without going back into SLC and changing busses. Rent a car for sure.

Hi,
there no public transport between SLC and Park City. I stayed at Park City in January and we did a day off from skiing. We wanted to do some sightseeing in SLC, but the only way would have been to rent a car. There are many excellent areas near SLC , but you need a car to ski in more than one place. Try to get the Utah ski pass, because you can use it at all places. Much snow and nice skiiing Helmut p.s.: Don#t use address for direct answers, it is the trash.

Some are listed he http://www.skiutah.com/travel/transportation.ski Using the service every day of a trip would get pricey, but it's good for a single day. -- terry morse Palo Alto, CA http://ski.terrymorse.com/ |

Thanks to all. We ended up skiing at Solitude and Brighton. I really enjoyed Brighton, this resort really does seem to have something for everybody and the scenery from the top of the Great Western and Snake Creek lifts had me going back to the locker to get my camera. My wife absolutely fell in love with Solitude's XC trails Next year, I will try to avoid scheduling my ski trip on the President's Day weekend however, oh well, live and learn. |
