@abc,
Thanks very much - some great reports there!
You don't mention lift tickets (at least not in the reports I've read so far). We had an Epic season pass last year for Vail resorts, for our 3 week trip, but were horrified by the price of day tickets - up to $175!
How did you get around that? (assuming you did....)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

"Cost:
- Passes: MCP + Epic Local ~ $1000 "
MCP = Mountain Collective Pass

@Themasterpiece, yep! unfortunately so.
And I didn't take too many photo either.
Still, it's not too difficult to just login...

@Bones, Sun Valley is probably one of the mountain that has more of a "European" feel. (according to our tour guide, it was started by a wealthy European way back when).
Long, well-bashed wide boulevard, with consistent pitch top to bottom
Relaxed lunch with wine
Clientele generally not in a hurry...
If I found myself back there again, I would also consider getting a lesson or two on carving. It's got the perfect setup for practice carving. And with so many Olympians hailing from Sun Valley, I suspect the locals know a secret or two on how to be in perfect control while going down a piste at high speed!

abc, Thanks, might be worth a couple of days then. Dropping in there enroute from SLC to Montana, breaks it up at least Might ski Lost Trail enroute to Bozeman from SV - ever been there ?

Never been to Lost Trail, yet. Too many mountains, too little time.
To break up the journey from SLC to Bozeman, there's also Jackson Hole you can stop (both SV and Jackson are not DIRECTLY on the way, but the detour are minor)

Yeah - we've done this before but only to Big Sky. I have a friend who we have stayed with before, who just happens to live in Jackson Met him over there on a trip a few years ago, and have visited a couple of times since
Well, I'd like to say thanks for your trip report, its given me some ideas, and just to add fuel have just purchased MCP for next season so that's 2 days, JH, Alta, Snowbird and SV with a bonus day too at one Just need to fill in the gaps now, Big Sky, Bridger Bowl, Lost Trail and some others around SLC. Next stop cheap flights, and an email to said friend in Jackson. Roll on 2018

@Bones, you're a braver man than I.
I prefer to go over the Teton Pass during daylight hours.

@abc, Awesome read, sounds like you had a blast and also interesting to hear of your ski now/work later dilemma.
Been on a similar journey myself (since last summer) and still not quite ready to return fully to my corporate 9-5 android life! So much so, the missus and I have decided to work the summer in the Alps (having worked/played the winter season), get a part time job until January and then head out to Japan for a few months... to see what all the fuss is about!

I too, read with interest of your plan to spend a season in Japan. Wish you a cracking time. Hope you'll share your experience here.
Might do the same a few years time.
