But of course it isn't going to snow much. I am the Anti-Ski God and I am arriving Monday morning. :-(

I will be there Mon-Sat and the forecast is pretty much precipitation-void.

I never get storms when I go to Utah. However, you can all plan for a big dump on Saturday, starting around 3PM when I head to the airport to go home. Mark my words, it always pounds on my way down canyon to the airport...

That sux Jonathan, and to make it worse, it will probably snow a lot back in the east while you are in Utah. There is chatter from the mets about a big storm brewing for next week back home. Thankfully, I'll be home by then and hopefully my knee will get a few days of rest before I hit the eastern powder.
 
How does it compare to the other SLC area resorts for snow, exposure etc.

Compared to LCC/BCC it's lower (6,900-8,900), exposures all over the map and the snowfall (based upon comparisons with Snowbasin) is in the 350-375 range. The very low skier density per acre is a unique attraction, and you can pretty much count on the powder being degraded by sun, wind etc. rather than skier traffic. So you need to know when the last storm was and what the weather has been since then.
 
Hopefully the chatter is better than the last no show storm chatter....althoight they where right about the mid south getting slammed, just not about NY.
