I thought there was a law that if you live in Utah you have to ski ;-)

A good friend of mine has ski'ed at every major and most minor resorts on the entire planet (he's a profesional skier and ski'ed in 2 olypmic's in the 60's). He said that Utah has some of the best skiing in the world. I've been there about 6 times (and will go again) and have to believe him.

>For those skiers among you I can only repeat what I've been told; that the powdery snow of Utah is absolutely the best in the world. Now I know those Coloradans are seeing red right now *BG* but that's what I've been told. I had one fellow who said that when he would ski on fresh powder that it would come up to his chest as he went downhill and that it was like floating on a cloud. Not being a skier I can only imagine what that would be like.

>So, all in all I expect it to be good for the local economy, good for the tendency of the locals to be insular in their thinking processes, good for the outsiders to find out that not everyone here is weird (except those computer guys! *bg*) even though the locals can have a tendency to cultural flat sides.
