I had the best "customer service" at Deer Valley

We pulled up in our van, and 5 or 6 people came over to carry our skis over to the staging area. I stopped on the slope a couple times to check the ski map, and had one of their workers ski up to me to assist in navigation. Just "top shelf" customer service. I liked Park City's mountain too. I think it was the home of the US Ski Team when we skied there. We normally rent a place in Murray, when we ski Utah. That has access to Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, with two ski resorts in each canyon. Brighton and Solitude in one (Brighton is heavily groomed, and Solitude doesn't have a lot of workers...you're a lot more on your own there), and Alta and Snowbird in the other. Alta had the best snow I've ever skied during one trip. Champaign snow up to my waist, and it was a complete joy to ski. I've skied Snowbird too, but don't remember a lot about that trip.

Bryce "Mountain", if you don't want to lose site of anyone on the "slopes"**
kjhokie • 01/27/24 05:16 PM ET
Telluride twenty times better scenery and not as crowded. Big sky is super
Vtskier1 • 01/27/24 04:05 PM ET
I second the Telluride recommendation

If you go to Jackson Hole, be sure & drive to Grand Targhee. They often get

Give Sun Valley a whirl
Roanokie • 01/27/24 12:49 PM ET
My favorite was Big Sky
Tafkam Hokie • 01/27/24 11:08 AM ET
One thing I forgot to mention
Key West Hokie • 01/27/24 09:17 AM ET
Banff does not suck.
HOKIE MAGIC • 01/27/24 12:00 PM ET
Yep...Sunshine and Lake Louise are both great mountains**
Tuckahokie • 01/27/24 03:05 PM ET
We went a couple of summers ago. Most beautiful place I’ve ever been.
reestuart • 01/27/24 12:34 PM ET
Have you thought about Whistler, BC? Its on our bucket list.**
PWR2LZ • 01/27/24 08:20 AM ET
Been too many times where it’s rained at the base and can’t ski alpine due
Vtskier1 • 01/27/24 04:08 PM ET
Yes…but
Key West Hokie • 01/27/24 09:20 AM ET
Nice! We've never skied out West, only @Killington where my wife's family
PWR2LZ • 01/27/24 10:28 AM ET
From my experience late Dec/early Jan will be risky from a snow standpoint
tchokie • 01/27/24 09:37 AM ET
Also lovely. Visit Vancouver if you go there**
Va AandM • 01/27/24 09:01 AM ET
Check out Aspen
EDGEMAN • 01/27/24 08:02 AM ET
^^^what he said^^. I prefer staying at Snowmass but search for best rentals
DonHo-kieHi • 01/27/24 11:36 AM ET
To add to the Tahoe list...if you can you must ski Kirkwood**
Tuckahokie • 01/27/24 11:43 AM ET
Park City**
Va AandM • 01/27/24 06:48 AM ET
This^^^. I don’t like Park City Mountain, but I love the Canyons and

Spudnut • 01/27/24 08:51 PM ET
Nope, never skied that one.
EDGEMAN • 01/28/24 05:18 AM ET
Alta is a must if possible...Deer Valley to see how the rich live and ski **
Tuckahokie • 01/27/24 11:46 AM ET
Why don’t you like the mountain?**
Key West Hokie • 01/27/24 09:15 AM ET
LOTS of traversing**
Roanokie • 01/27/24 12:48 PM ET
The fall lines on the slopes seem awkward. The snow
Spudnut • 01/27/24 11:21 AM ET
Steamboat**
B777Fr8Dog • 01/27/24 05:15 AM ET
This is on my list…
Key West Hokie • 01/27/24 09:25 AM ET
You need to ski Steamboat at least once in your life.**
EDGEMAN • 01/27/24 04:55 PM ET
Better than Breck (longer runs, no flat run out at the bottom), and bigger
B777Fr8Dog • 01/27/24 11:33 AM ET
Better than both of those. Comperable to Snowmass.**
UTPr0sim • 01/27/24 11:20 AM ET
We love Snowmas. Both Steamboat and Snowmass have great “family” runs from
B777Fr8Dog • 01/27/24 03:08 PM ET
Ditto, We do like the heated streets in Snowmass!! Always do ski in/out
UTPr0sim • 01/27/24 04:52 PM ET
They will probably need a vehicle, but ski conditions are excellent
EDGEMAN • 01/27/24 07:52 AM ET
Free bus if can’t/dont get a car.**
