Looking for reasonable conditions and reasonably easy intermediate slopes. _ Lake Tahoe is probably a safe bet. North Star, Heavenly and Squaw have enough snowmaking to cover a fair amount of intermediate terrain even in the bad years. Most years the whole mountain is open by early December. However, making plans now for December is a gamble, I think[1] the odds are on your side. _ Booker C. Bense [1]- Actually I hope and pray the odds are on your side, I don't think I could stand another one of those "only snowmaking" until late December years. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBP4bPbGTWTAjn5N/lAQFM1gP8CbrNPTCT/COk2j6JTamJ/eRQgMLM2ptm eDSTSNtuJeo4UVKDZ8Tn/fNFgEJ88Cuqu7ohLdD9jDCQ4txPvM0szAEmoF9m8UK4 h9buaYDHtV/40ZpuUUI7Cu9DO4SO0ZoiGvrjjNszIc5Y4jzBX4BSonA2yxurW FiQ UN5BxA9acIg= =EgpB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Hey guys, back me up on this one, but I beleive the stock answer is "Vail, definitely Vail". All serious skiers recommend Vail. At least, they recommend YOU go to Vail. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I have only skied the Poconos and Vermont, but
have always felt a desire to try out Lake Tahoe and/or Utah. It sounds like an opportune time. Is Alta strictly powder, or is a combination of powder and groomed? - David |

If you want powder, Colorado (especially Vail) has the best powder on Earth. If you wnat groomed, nobody has more grooming machines than Vail. |

So, if I understand this right (and that is unlikely), Vail has BY FAR the best groomed powder on earth. Damn it, too bad I always take exit 216 off I-70 to ski.
