Moving to Utah soon

I'm moving to Salt Lake City soon, I was just wondering if anyone knows about which resorts have the best deals on season passes. I liked Alta and Canyons last time i was there. But didn't check out the season pass situation. If you plan on living the Salt Lake Valley, I strongly recommend that you get a pass to one of the areas in either Little or Big Cottonwood Canyon. Closer to home, and *much* better snow quality and quantity than the PC side. This year, an Alta season pass cost $825 if purchased prior to Labor Day, and $925 after Labor Day: http://www.alta.com/tickets.html So, if you get the Alta pre-Labor Day price, and ski 45 days, it comes out to something like $18/ski day. Not a bad price to pay for the best lift-served powder skiing in North America. Or, you can really splurge and purchase an Alta-Snowbird combined pass for $1,100 or $1,200. The cost for a Canyons pass ranges anywhere from $765 to $1,090 depending upon when you purchase it, and if it is a renewal: http://www.thecanyons.com/skiing-rid...sonpasses.html A few years ago there was a bunch of ****ed-off Canyons season pass holders because supposedly The Canyons ski patrol was understaffed, so they took forever (days) to open up all the terrain after a good dump. Not sure if they are still having the same problems. Personally, I won't waste my time (or money) at The Canyons. And, after you've lived here a while, I doubt that you will either. -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/users/hound/...3-04/index.htm --- |

Well, how about "Not a bad price to pay for some of the best lift-served powder skiing in North America." Is that better? -Astro |

Thank you all for the feedxback. I loved Alta last itme i was there... Probably go for that pass. I helped coach a group in Salt Lake City last spring. One of my students was a local gal who held the regional "all-areas" pass that I think she said cost a little more than the Alta/Snowbird pass. She'd been skiing 4-5 days a week all around Salt Lake City and said she liked being able to change areas, especially depending upon where the best weather was. |

I haven't had the "gold pass" for a few years now. It doesn't make sense for me because there are only two areas for me to ski. Last time I got it I think it was $2500. Up to 40 days at each area in Utah/fully transferable. When I quit paying attention they were coming up with a "silver card" that was about $1800. 35 at each area but not transferable, I think. There was a waiting list to get one at that time. pigo |
