Best places to go in the spring

[[J_Gasper]]

Gonna be coming to SLC for my first time the first week of March. Im gonna be skiing 5 days and tbh want to ski 5 diferent resorts.

I definitely want to hit Deer Valley, Alta, Snowbird, and PCMR. Not really sure about the 5th day. Ive heard a lot of good things about the Canyons, solitude, and powder mountain.

Wheres the best snow usually in early march?

I would definitely hit up BCC one of those days. Brighton/solitude. If you want to ski a fun park with a fun mtn, go to brighton. If you want to ski even better terrain with less lines/tracked out snow and you don't care about park, go to solitude. And the snow will be comparable to LCCs.

Word, thanks.

I definitely want to hit up Alta, Snowbird, and Deer Valley (all on separate days). Is PCMR fun? I definitely want to hit up Brighton or Solitude as well. How do those compare to PC?

they get more snow and have better terrain (as in cliffs/steeps/natural hits) and don't have the corporate feel that the park city resorts do. don't get me wrong, I love skiing at pc, but it's primarily for the park. they do have some fun terrain in bounds, but there's much more in the big cottonwood canyon resorts, and they get way more snow too. if we get any fresh snow, i'll almost always be going to brighton (the LCC resorts would be ideal for pow skiing tho).

also, brighton has prolly the best rails in the wasatch in their park. super fun slippery, long rails. and really long park laps. pcs park is hit or miss, too. sometimes it can be set up really dumb, but when the set up is good, not much can beat a warm park day there.

worth mentioning since you don't seem to know - canyons is now rolled into PCMR pass and there is a connecting gondola.
