>I know them well. Try to get there one weekend each winter, get one of those great ski and stay packages in town, and hit Alta and Snowbird for a few days. I have yet to hit Brighton and Solitude. Been to Park City and Deer Valley - which I don't think are worth the drive when you've got just a weekend and you truly want the greatest snow on earth. Great mountains, those two, but the snow quality just doesn't compare.

I usually hit Brighton cause my kids ski free, but I like Solitude better. If I want to get away from the snowboarders, I go to Alta.

>Unfortunately looks like I'm not going to make it this winter. I usually go in Feb., but I've got every weekend booked up. Maybe early March.

Let me know if you get here. I'll see if I can take a day and hit the slopes with you.

>I'm definitely envious of you folk. How often do you get up and just decide that it's a better day to ski than to work?

No often enough.
