Just moved to Salt Lake City, was wondering where I should get a pass to. There’s obviously park city but i was wondering if there are any other mountains here with great skiing. If you live or ski here lmk what mountain you ride at and if you like it.
 
If you’re more into park check out woodward and b town but if you like backcountry style stuff check out solitude and Alta and snowbird they all have fantastic skiing

I’m so jealous of anyone living in Utah or Colorado, or anywhere where there’s actual powder and big mountains.
 
Hey man, I am moving to SLC in a few weeks as well. Lots of homies I talked to said Solitude is extremely fun. Personally Brighton is the most attractive option for me because tubes, great terrain and night skiing on the weekdays. I personally bought an Epic and Icon plus full Brighton pass.

YOU THINK I FUCKING CARE?

I BET YOU'RE THE KIND OF STUPID ASSHOLE THAT MAJORS IN ECONOMICS.
 
Depends on what part of SLC you’re living at,

personally I think Mammoth mountain would be your best bet- they have a nice park, good terrain and IMO some of the best skiing near SLC

Damn you bought some nice passes. You're right, Solitude is fun as shit, its steep with cool terrain. Brightons parks are dope as well.

Personally i probably would have gone Alta/Bird over Epic and Brighton but thats just personal preference, and i just have an Ikon. Especially since youre into the tubes epic and brighton is gonna be awesome
 
This is absolutely the right setup for the first year in Utah, then buy a bird pass early for next year so you can ski it in the spring

I get some Alta days included on my Icon. But Brighton has weeknight skiing and I wanna ski park, and I'll be filming at PC.
 
Depends on what kinda skiing and vibe you want.

I know there’s no park anymore, but at least check out deer valley to see how skiing could be without crowds and snowboarding.

also check out Alta.

for park id say Brighton.
 
Alright OP, here's the rub:

Brighton: Great Park, Great Mountain. For being closer than PC, it's amazing with it's park. Vibes at Brighton are the best in Utah, lots of piff and beer. Not owned by Alterra or Epic, true 'locals' mountain. You do have to deal with getting up Big Cottownood

Solitude: Used to be the gem of the Wasatch since so few people went there, but that changed when they got bought out by Alterra and are now ravaged with Ikon Passholders. Still a cool mountain, and if you get an Ikon, this will be your home base.

Snowbird: Best Terrain in Utah, can go as big as you want, not owned by Ikon or Alterra, but definitely a big corporate place. Smallest locals scene in the Wasatch, but some of the nicest people I know love skiing there (this is my home spot now.) You will not run out of terrain and it is amazing if you know where to go. Also, their season lasts about a month-2 months longer than everyone else except Woodward if it's a good snow year.

Alta: OOOLTA BABY! It's also where all the kids go after their knees get tired of skiing park. 2nd best terrain to Snowbird, but way more chill with what you can do in terms of building booters and things. As a result, it has a pretty great crew of people who can really throw down. Vibes are good here, only thing is no Snowboarders.

The 4 resorts above in the Wasatch all get the best Snow.

PC: Prepare to be outskied by 50 13 year olds. Best Park in Utah hands down still to this day. Yeah it's run by vail, but whatever. I don't ski park so I won't comment on that.

Deer Valley: Just go there and see, great groomers, but no park, and not the best terrain IMO.

Woodward: Very underrated for night skiing from what I gather if you enjoy park.
 
Thx bro mad helpful
