Salt Lake City Travel Forum

I'll be bringing 4 avid teenaged skiers to SLC in March. They are all really good skier/snowboarders. We want to buy the Super Pass but don't know which of the ski areas close to Salt lake City are the best. Any suggestions?? Also, we're staying at the Crystal Inn at West Valley Center- any comments?? Thanks

Well all the ski areas are great. Alta does not allow snowboarders. Brighton is considered the snowboarders home. Snowbird has great terrain options. Solitude is big and usually less crowded. How long are you staying? Get a 4 day pass and try them all

Crystal Inn West Valley is a little far away, but close to the freeway so won't take you that much longer. You might be able to catch a Grizzlies hockey game at the E Center right next door. The area there has lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. There is also a Crystal Inn in Midvale (or maybe it is called Fort Union) that would be lots closer, less busy area, still within a mile of shopping and restaurants.

You might want to go to Solutide for snowboarding. The skiing should be great in March. We just went at New Years and it was snowing quite a bit. Some other skiers (we went to Alta) said this area has the best skiing (they had been to Park City).

Oh, one more tip - I'm not familiar with the super pass but there is a ski shop I posted on my SLC tips that sold ski lift tickets at a discount. Might want to check that out.
