Alta vs Powder Mountain vs Targhee
The replies to my "Advice for Father/Son Alta..." were great, but created
more questions! The reason I chose Alta was because last winter I received an overwhelming response to take my family to Alta for a great powder experience. Maybe Alta is not the best place to go with high hopes of experiencing powder skiing on a budget with a limited window of time. Maybe racing up to Lake Tahoe at the end of a storm in January and February for some skiing in 6 to 12 inches of, not quite as dry as Utah, powder is the way to go until we have more money, more experience, and more time. Still, I know my son would love me forever (once he finishes his adolescent years) if I were able to treat him to some knee deep dry powder. The hardcore skiiers/boarders in rsam/rsa might have higher expectations of powder quality than us intermediates. Although, I definitely enjoy skiing where there aren't any tracks! I definitely want to treat my son to some special skiing while he still enjoys my company. Airfare to SLC I can afford. Several day trips to Tahoe I can afford. A trip to Targhee, not as easy. JS |
