am in US next week with work and will be flying in to Salt Lake on Friday for the weekend. Everywhere seems to have spring snow at the moment. Any suggestions on which resort I should head to?

@darbyrw, skier or boarder? Off-piste or no? Après ski important? Any other likes or dislikes?

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

hi...am a skier. not really bothered about off piste for the weekend and apres not majorly important - happy to have a couple as I come off the slopes then dinner. Have stayed in Park City before and really liked it. also like snow basin and powder mountain. Was wondering if anyone had been recently and knew what the snow conditions are like. Thanks

@darbyrw, I was at Solitude and Brighton a couple of weeks ago. Coverage was wide but not deep then. Generally, natural snow cover is better at the Cottonwood resorts than the Park City resorts. On the other hand, snow-making and management at Deer Valley is so good that it may be better overall, with choice of bars/restaurants later in Park City.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

darbyrw, Been checking too , as flying in on Thursday - conditions looking definitely spring like but cooling off towards the weekend.
As laundryman, asks, preferences and where are you staying ?
I would think anywhere in the Cottonwoods will be quiet if conditions stay the same. Park City area will be busier as tourists will be staying there - end of Presidents week. If you like playing in trees/ slack country Brighton would be fine - cheapest of the four cottonwoods and high too. Alta obviously high but gets icy with no fresh snow, and no boarders. Snowbird, again high with trees also. Solitude open and very quiet, good grooming, no snow though in flat light isn't so much fun.
Plenty of Presidents Day sales on so bargains galore
