Derek72 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Which resort in Salt Lake City is the best for hard board ? I heard about Park City. What else- Snobasin, Snowbird ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty F. Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 just moved to slc from the east coast and currently work at snowbird. Snowbird is great for powder ( three days of it last week) but as far a carving goes I would choose someplace else. They just don't have much for groomed terrain, and what is groomed is loaded with people. I haven't had a chance to check out any other resorts yet but I've heard that Park City is great during mid-week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Derek, I'd start with PCMR and the hardbooter.com crew. Plenty of groomers in PC and Canyons areas. If you get up to the Ogden area, 'Snowbasin is great for groomers, too but be sure to bring your AM board in case of dumps. From there there's a few more areas you could check out depending upon your schedule and purse. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Tokar Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm heading there in Feb with 4 other guys. We were probably going to just stay in SLC and check out different resorts from there, but I'd love to get some advice on whether it makes sense to spend a night in PC to hit Canyons and PC itself. I'm also interested in checking out snowbird, solitude and snowbasin. We'll only have 4 days of riding - Thursday through Sunday - and I was wondering which were the best bets on weekends to avoid crowds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Mike, Planning info available on line from: www.rideutah.com www.visitsaltlake.com Best bet for least crowded would be Snowbasin (Sun Valley of the West), but try to hit this area on a bluebird day. Check with locals on Powder Mountain too. Both of these areas are "non-destination" resorts (no lodging). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Worth getting an early flight. The few hours you get on the slopes, makes a great warm up / altitude adjustment time. I've used it a couple of times. http://www.parkcityinfo.com/skiing/quickstart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bullet Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Derek, Snowbird: You'll find Regulator Johnson agreeable if you like long broad steep groomers. Skiers tend to ski it waves off the tram, I generally take the Little Cloud lift and do laps here and wait for it to clear out. There are a few fun runs in Mineral Basin as well, but they are bit shorter. Mark Malu and Primrose Path are other fun groomers. Solitude: Take the Powderhorn lift to Diamond Lane or Eagle Eagle Express lift to the Sunshine Bowl or Sun Dancer or Inspiration Park City: Get to the King Con lift. Shamus and Sitka are hardbooter favorites. Also, check out their Signature groomers. I've got season passes at these three resorts because they all offer something different. The terrain is dramatically different, so is the attitude;-) Enjoy your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
