One consideration about PC and DV from when I went there several years ago. The slopes are groomed to death, with no texture on slopes steeper than slopes that never get groomed where I am. There are lots of people basically going straight down, turning only when the trail turns, at incredible speeds. To me, it's boring and dangerous. True. Those resorts are popular because they deliver what the great American skiing public wants: groomers. PCMR have this thing called groomed "signature runs" which means quite steep blues and blacks, groomed. I couldn't find any decent mogul slopes, until I ended up at what is now called The Canyons, down the road, with the snowboarders and telemarkers. You should have asked someone, there's some excellent bumpage at PCMR (and at DV, too), lovely long runs full of them. and for never-groomed steeps, Jupiter is your playground. -- ant Don't try to email me! I'm using the latest spammer/scammer's email addy. |

Happy New Year. I was lucky enough to score a few days at a friends condo in Park City coming up at the end of Feb. Never been to Utah and am planning on at least one of the days at Alta and the other two at Park City. Not equipped to go outside the ropes and won't be doing so - I'm an advanced-expert level skier so if anyone has some suggestions on what to hit while I'm there or a good place to grab a beer after skiing it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! While I love Alta/Snowbird and DV don't overlook Snowbasin. But the best days I have has the last two years, including yesterday (Friday) has been at Powder Mountain which is about 1 1/2 hours north of PC. Old school facilities but worth the effort to get there. Fred |
