Cheap pass to Park City Utah?
REI on 3300 South sells park city passes for $55 and canyons passes for $49.
here's a link to their website: http://www.rei.com/stores/saltlakecity/index.html um, if you have your heart set on those two resorts, then cool, but if you want this locals opinion, forget about those two resorts and go to snowbird, alta or brighton instead. all three are cheaper and a *lot* better.

Too much loose snow, and not nearly enough of the extra firm(TM), but otherwise a pretty good hill. Less crowded than PCMR. Definitely the Brighton to ski if you have to ski a hill named Brighton. -- // Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

Definitely the Brighton to ski if you have to ski a hill named Brighton. i dunno where lal truckee is going with this, but brighton, utah is a kickass resort. period. yes, its small, and has shorter runs (1750' vert) compared to all the other resorts mentioned, BUT it has good fall line (reins, clarks, millicent bowl, hidden canyon), lots of kickass tree runs, tons of backcountry access and good variation. it certainly has its limitations...i'd rather be at the bird or snowbasin on a dump day, but brighton has the ability to hold snow for a week or more after a storm, when the bird or the canyons has long since been tracked out completely. the backcountry access is great. i love the short hikes to good turns (10420', snake creek, pioneer, twin lakes, etc). funny side note... as a detroit boy, i learned to ski on the *other* brighton. the one in michigan. the one with 250 vert. the one where my first ski experience was marred by my best friend breaking his leg on the way UP the tow rope the first time. i went back there with my board last year and even tho i had told myself not to think about it in the same way i judge resorts out here, i was amazed. 10+ lifts in such a little space and alllll those people!!! oh my heck! i'm glad i live here now! oh and ted, i'm sorry but i just kind of assumed that you were a tourist. if i lived in midway, i'd ride in park city too. paul |

Brighton???!!! So what's wrong with Brighton? Have you been there? The one in Utah, I mean? Though not my favorite Utah resort, It still has good terrain (although too many dudes) IMO, it beats just about all of the Tahoe resorts with the exception of Sugar Bowl & Kirkwood, particullarly in snow.

OK, you guys have me convinced - geological processes move at Hollywood speed there in the BCC, and an acutal mountain, with slopes and everything, has up-thrusted under Brighton since I was last there. Excellent. Plus Brighton does keep the boarders occupied, another _Good Thing_ ... It's possible that the recent earthquake in the Jackson Hole area also caused a tectonic uplift right under Brighton. I think I heard something about a new 2000+ feet of vertical added recently.
