Salt Lake / Park City Advice
I am taking my two nine year olds skiing for the first time to Salt
Lake, and am getting a bit overwhelmed by the number of hills and places to ski. The kids have never skied before, in fact have never seen snow. We are going to be in Salt Lake the last weekend in February. Can someone who has been to this area help me with these questions? Which mountain has a great ski school for kids? Some that I have seen only have a few hours on the slopes. A personal recommendation would be great. Which mountain has a great selection of blue runs? (for me!) We will be there over a weekend. Which mountain will I not spend most of my time in a lift line? Finally, where should I purchase lift tickets and ski rentals. Salt Lake or at the mountain? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Believe it or not, Alta has the easiest green runs for the never-ever. I can't vouch for their ski school, but for a first-time never-ever you could do a lot worse than the terrain served by the Albion & Cecret lifts at Alta. Brighton also has a good selection of beginner terrain. Which mountain has a great ski school for kids? Some that I have seen only have a few hours on the slopes. A personal recommendation would be great. Which mountain has a great selection of blue runs? (for me!) Alta is a good choice. Or any of the others, really. We will be there over a weekend. Which mountain will I not spend most of my time in a lift line? Solitude. Winner of the truth in advertising award. Most of the crowds go to the Park City resorts (Canyons, Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort). Finally, where should I purchase lift tickets and ski rentals. Salt Lake or at the mountain? Cheaper to get tickets in town before going up to the slopes. See http://www.canyonsports.com/tickets.html -- //-Walt // // There is no Völkl Conspiracy |

Both The Canyons and Park City have good kid's programs Which mountain has a great selection of blue runs? (for me!) Park City - Most of their blacks are blues We will be there over a weekend. Which mountain will I not spend most of my time in a lift line? Solitude for sure or if you are willing to drive - head to Snowbasin about 1.5hours away Finally, where should I purchase lift tickets and ski rentals. Salt Lake or at the mountain? Ski and See rental shops have great packages and you can purchase discount lift tickets there as well Thanks in advance for any advice! Jeff Houston, TX |
