Heading out to snowbird and alta next week. I have been to Snowbird a couple of times but have never been to Alta. What are some must do runs and areas I should check out at snowbird and alta when I am there? Don't mind hiking, but I don't have much backcountry experience and avalanche training so looking for runs and areas in bounds. Thanks.
 
If you get there after a huge storm:

Alta: Catherine's on Supreme

Snowbird: Tiger Tail --> Thunder Bowl off Gad 2
 
Red Lens to Tiger Tail to Thunder Bowl= heaven on a pow day. As of right now I'm sure it's anything but, unfortunately
 
wildcat at alta and gad 2 at the bird. there's a lot of other sick stuff at both resorts but you can't go wrong with those chairs.
 
At Alta take the High Traverse to the Alf's High Rustler area. Wildcat area is fun.

At Snowbird the Gad Chutes are really awesome but I don't think there's enough snow for them yet. Same for the ridge as far as you can go to skier's left on the front side, awesome stuff but probably not enough snow. There's great tree skiing in the Gad area in general. There's also some nice cliffs in the Peruvian Express area.
