Great skiing! Grooming is world class, runs are not crowded, spectacular scenery as well. Lots of high speed transport and gondolas kept us warm in between runs. I love this place. Day lodges are magnificent and the food is great but pricey as usual

This resort is the easiest of all Utah resorts to get to and parking is free and plentiful.
Weekday crowds or nonexistent. Plenty of room to spread out the crowds.

I have skied this resort for many years. It is managed well, you're never stuck in long lift lines here. Parking is the best I've seen anywhere, including the shuttle service from all the parking lots. They don't always get the best skiing conditions as they're not as high in altitude as some other resorts in Utah, but they maintain their groomers well. Dining is pricey but it is unmatched for a ski resort. It does make it hard to feed a family for local folks who are not rich, so they tend to bring our own snacks. There is a bar or at least beer options at every Lodge. Resort is very customer service oriented. There are people to guide and direct you everywhere you go.
