Alta/Snowbird in January?
I'm thinking of taking a week at Alta/Snowbird in January. Any advice
on places to stay? I suppose the top-level choice is whether to stay at Alta or Snowbird. I guess there is more to do at night at Snowbird than Alta, though not much at either place. That's OK, all I need is a decent bar to have a few drinks in and unwind. Can you get back and forth between Alta and Snowbird at night? I don't think I want to stay in Salt Lake - I don't like "commuter skiing" vacations much. The way the season is going, I guess conditions are going to be good by January. Maybe the only worry would be that avalanche conditions would kep you trap inside your hotel. Dave |

If you are by yourself ask for the old rooms in the Rustler Lodge with just
a sink (it is a long walk down the hall to the community showers). We are talking Alta here. Ciao! Bill Alta Pro Patrol 1961-2 "Dave Stallard" wrote in message ...

They had a great road system to start with and an even better one after the olympics. You can stay off the highway or downtown for a very reasonable rate, be within walking distance of restaurants and bars, and the best thing is that you're 30-45 minutes from several great resorts. Why limit yourself to only Alta/Snowbird? (not saying you would...) I hear ya, though. It is nice to get off the slopes and go directly to a hot tub instead of your car. Also, something to note, if you land early in the day, you can ski free the day you land at Canyons, Park City or Deer Valley. Just bring your boarding pass to the ticket window and you'll get a ticket. They're trying to promote how close the ski areas are from the airport. -todd |

Can you get back and forth between Alta and Snowbird at night? LOL, going back and forth. are you talking about walking, running or skiing? No you cannot, unless you have a car with you. The Cliff Lodge at Snowbird is expensive, but they have great night entertainment. The bar is jam packed with beautiful guys and girls, not to say the Music. OTOH, Alta is a bit rustic, quiet.... |
