Where to ski in Utah with no crowds?

I'm hitting Utah in early March for a short trip, Sat, Sun and Mon,
and want to avoid the lift lines. Which resorts are typically less
crowded than others? I hear Solitude really lives up to its name, any
others?? Thanks!

Snowbasin. Powder Mountain. Sundance.

The Canyons could be a good alternative for you. Once you get away from
the central lifts (Saddleback and Tombstone) there's never a wait.

Then again, a few people around isn't such a bad thing if it means going
somewhere that doesn't totally SUCK!

No place in either Cottonwood Canyons will have shorter lift lines than
Solitude.

Yeah. No one wants to get near Biggers.

Personally, I love the place. Great terrain, good grooming, no crowds, and
no Bob Thompson.

Hmmm..well, I'm not certain I understand that comment. The Canyons has
a ton of different terrain, and is the least busy of the PC resorts.
There are some great black blue runs off the north side of Condor and
the south side, when there's enough snow (which there is now) has some
fun chutes. Off of Eagle and Lookout, there's lots to ski. I don't
much care for the south side of the resort, but if you're an
intermediate skiier looking for groomers, you'll find plenty. So do you
not like the runs, does the Gondola **** you off, is the food not as
good as DV, or what?

It's Bob Thompson.
Anyplace that doesn't fit his self-important image as a RealSkierTM sucks.
Of course, to the rest of us, The Canyons is a fine resort, good snow, great
lifts, helluva lot of terrain, etc.
People with no interior values need to value themselves by associating with
perceived quality while denigrating others.
