when I run. I have run with a group once, and it was fun, but it's just not
something I would long to do. |

发帖数: 210 | 4 这一期Skiing杂志上由读者选出的Top 25 Ski Resorts, Whistler/Blackcomb名列第一。
Colorado最多，有7个，Vail, Aspen, Steamboat, Crested Butte, Telluride,
Snowmass, Breckenridge.
其次是CA，5个，Squaw Valley, Mammoth Mountain, Kirkwood, Heavenly, Alpine
Meadows.
UT占四席, Alta/Snowbird, Snowbasin, Park City, Solitude。
有点奇怪的是Deer Valley竟然未上榜。
东部最惨，估计前五十一个也上不去。 |

发帖数: 1968 | 6 如果是专门滑雪,去Colorado. 雪场大,雪好.但除了雪,没什么别的.雪场:Aspen, Vail,
Steamboat,Copper Mountain.
如果是滑雪,又看市区,去UT.最近的雪场到市区只有30分钟.滑雪之余,看看市区和大教
堂. 雪场:Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Park City Mountain Resort(远点.)
如果没到过加州,推荐一个滑雪带玩的地方: Lake Tahoe, California + Nevada. 湖周
围有很多雪场.雪不错,但没有Colorado雪场大.一边滑雪,一边看湖景,又有Casinos.
Heavenly 雪场跨California + Nevada交界.很漂亮.Squaw Valley 雪场曾经举办过冬
季奥运会. |

发帖数: 3522 | 8 我就住在slc。
如果封路，就是封进入canyon的那条山路（alta 和snowbird都在little cottonwood
canyon里，然后brigton和solitude都在big cottonwood canyon），所以如果不是ski-
in-out的那种，区别不大。不过去年好像总共也没封几次。。。
印象里，就好象在去little cottonwood和big cottonwood的交叉口，看到过一个lodge
,不过不是很大。要么就是ski resort自己带的lodge了，肯定要贵。

发帖数: 1632 | 9 The ski pass "Superpass" or whatever it's called, is good at Alta, Snowbird,
Brighton, and Solitude.
So it's really a very nice deal :)

发帖数: 1632 | 10 I think Brighton has night skiing, but I've never done it thou. I thought
it was creepy enough skiing late afternoon in Solitude and there's nobody
around.
Also depends on where you are from -- "green" can mean a variety of things.
I'm from the midwest, the "greens" in Utah is equivalent to some of the "
blacks" here. Never been to powder mountain, but I heard it's a pretty
decent place - especially if it's cheaper than Alta/Snowbird.

发帖数: 1632 | 16 Haha, he's a boarder, Alta is just like an unreachable fantasy to him :D
He's right thou, I don't recommend Snowbird... Their runs are kinda steep
and worst of all, their trail map sucks. You could be going down what you
think is a green or a blue and suddenly you look down and it's a cliff... <
/sweat>
I recommend Solitude. Relatively fewer people, nice snow the few times I've
been there, and trails seem to be a bit gentler.

发帖数: 1632 | 18 Interesting list - I think it's just top 30 resorts in no particular order?
I mean, if the rank were in order - Snowbird and Alta are both ranked
BEHIND Solitude? how? lol
I think the list caters more toward the resorts with the most attractions
and possibly more family oriented.
Personally, if I have a LOT of money to burn - go ski in Canada, book a trip
to the Cariboos mountains. Heli skiing everyday, guaranteed verticals.
hardcore :)

发帖数: 436 | 20 Just got back from SLC yesterday. We didn't see a flake of snow the whole
week but still it was a blast! The snow is crusty in the morning but it
softens by noon and you can carve on it pretty well - no ice at all. The
last day (3/16) we went to Snowbird, the temp is about 57 degrees, the snow
becomes a little slushy but still fun to carve. We went to Brighton,
Solitude, Snowbird, Powder Mountain and the Canyons. Got superpass from the
Hilton we were staying but you can get discount lift tickets |

发帖数: 1632 | 23 The camera man was probably having technical difficulties under the rather
extreme conditions - difficulties such as, having his head stuck under 3
feet of snow...
The visibility was about 5 feet, with 0 contrast. So basically, you are
skiing, and suddenly, you do a face plant because you didn't realize you
just went over 4 feet of fresh soft powder... lol
Anyway, tomorrow, sunny sky, Solitude. Will try to capture something more
interesting... :)

发帖数: 1632 | 26 park city was OK, it's a plush little town, lots of bars :) park city and
deer valleys are very... nicely-kept. They don't do it for me - lacking the
"wild" feel of a big mountain. Too groomed, too "clean".
Solitude is like a wild ride with a hot chick you met by chance. Deer
Valley is like an expensive trophy wife. :)
That being said, we did check out an Open House halfway up the mountain at
Deer Valley, valued at around $3.4 million. lol
It was very nice, unfortunately just a little bit |

发帖数: 1632 | 27 fine i'll do a brief summary of my experience. :)
Day 1: Snowbird. White out. Deep Powder. Legs cramping, Mineral Basin.
Giant funky moguls.
Day 2: Solitude. Bluebird. Glade skiing, powder floating, collision!
Day 3: Alta. Bluebird x2. Devil's Castle. 60mph gust of wind. Wildcat
runs.
In between the days: Hotpot, getting drunk, laughing, dancing, hot tubbing,
sleeping.

发帖数: 599 | 28 还有两周多就去了，盐湖城这种店估计挺多的，Local的朋友能不能指点一下我该到哪
里去买goggle和手套，租ski有没有便宜点的地方，ski很好玩但也很花钱啊，能省就省
点。
总共滑4到5天，是绿道冲蓝道水平，utah.com有个表，我比较了所有resort，价格远近
slope情况，决定先去powder mountain两天，原因是绿道够多，价格够便宜。剩下两天
可能去brighton or solitude, 其实park city, alta也可去，但太贵，绿道太少,欢迎
一切建议。 |

发帖数: 3311 | 29 Try Brighton for sure, then Solitude and Alta - Wastach Front resorts.
Never been to Powder Mountain, - sorry could not advise. It was a 2002 Oly ski site though. Ogden is a blue collar and Air Force base type of town in N. Utah.
Avoid the three resorts in Park City vicinity, be prepared to compete with celebrities and out staters. You may save a little in tickets but you spend alot in hotels, rentals, food stuff.
Deer Valley is where qmc's freinds found a 3.4m house with 15 restrooms, ha, |

发帖数: 3311 | 30 You are right. From staking to ski is a much easier transition to me as
well.
Many, many years ago, I was brought up to the mountains to ski, just because
my buddy saw I skated well. He just took me up to Solitude and got on the
chair. Man, did I fell hard from getting off the chair to all the way down
the mountain! Till today I still have not had any skiing lessons but
learned from falling, I guess.
One thing bad about skating turned to skiing is that we have hard time to do
the nice carvi |

那个需要hiking一段路程。
第四张照片是，evergreen peak上照的。 |

发帖数: 76 | 32 evergreen peak 是solitude和brighton之间的山峰。
登上evergreen peak 可以俯视两个雪场。
但是没有lift只能hiking上去。
一个搞笑的事情是我hiking到一半的时候，想休息一下。
为了不阻碍后面的人，就往傍边闪了一下。
就是这一闪，让我滑了下来，真是气死了。
最后不得不重新hiking上去。
等上去之后，就比较有成就感。可以看到周围的山峰，两个雪场尽收眼底。
然后闯过大片的glades，可以从尽头的evergreen trail下山。 |

发帖数: 3311 | 41 I would try to ski the other three places first, except Brighton which is
more for family and beginner to intermediate. Then come back to the one you
like the most.
Driving should be just fine. If you do not have 4x4, use bus when it's
snowing. If you have the bus tickets included, use them.
There are not too many good Chinese places to eat, other than that you have
all the national chains. Check the Utah board for details. |
