Hello All,
We arrive at 10 AM in Salt Lake this Tuesday. Our group of four, (two ride, two ski) would normally hit one of the PC resorts for a free half-day, but we're in the blackout period for this deal We'll do a half-day elsewhere instead, probably Brighton, to take advantage of the evening skiing, or Snowbasin. I haven't skiied any of the salt lake resorts under lights. Any comments or suggestions from the regulars?
For later in the week, I'm curious about conditions at Solitude's Honeycomb Canyon. We skiied Solitude a four years ago and left with the impression that it was better suited for powder days. We looked for glades/trees but encountered mostly high speed groomers, with the exception of Honeycomb. Maybe my memorry is off a bit. That was our first trip west and we hit powder days elsewhere that week.
Snowbasin... has anyone been on the blacks off of John Paul? I'm wondering if we'll be free to roam without too much danger of hitting rocks, or if we need to stick closer to defined routes.
Alta/Snowbird is a given.
I'm curious about Sundance. There's little discussion on this forum. It's a smaller/lower elevation place and I wondered how it skiied. Hard to tell from a trail map. We enjoy blues, blacks, trees and glades.
