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

Nah. The one star's really for the reviewer who patently can't ski. Snowbird is awesome. As is Alta.

Yeah chutes under the tram are quite burly and Top of Tram to bottom is a leg burner but there's plenty of blues and families who ski there. Geography is some of the weirdest of anywhere I've skied though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Excellent
I have often thought you should have to pass an IQ test before leaving a review.
However the picture looks like the powder skiing marketing that Whistler issue. The runs are skied out and there are moguls, yet the skier is in waist deep blower powder.

I'd second that. Some of my best days ever have been at Snowbird. It just puked all week pretty much when I've been, spoilt for choice as to where to head. Brighton is great too. Got to love Utah powder.

In snowbird, you're going to be fighting for lines (with a different set of people from those who ride the blues) from the first tram... I'd guess the photo is manipulated.
Reviews: Trying to average different things (for example the opinion of a novice and an expert) is not going to give any meaningful result.

@philwig, admittedly not on a powdr day but Snowbird was pretty quiet when I was there, both times.

The locals tend to get on the first public tram on powder days then go back to the city for a day's work. It's very conditions sensitive, and most people in that tram will know each other. The first tram is an hour before that.
I was thinking that by the time the pistes are bumpy like in the shot there, the off piste would be pretty tracked out, hence I think they probably used a little Photoshop.
