John D

I heard so much good and bad about Snowbird, and as an advanced Intermediate, it sounded intimidating. Following advice on this site, I went late season to avoid crowds and arrived at 8 am to find a prime - and free- parking spot. From there it was amazing, I mean really good. The scenery is top notch, with jagged, snow-covered peaks as far as the eye can see. But what I really loved is the variety here. Sure, there is a ton of tough terrain, but the vast majority of the slopes are manageable for an advanced intermediate. Despite critiques below, a ton of runs, including dozens of steep black diamonds are groomed. But if that's not your thing, there are thousands of acres of ungroomed bowls and runs from moderately bumpy to extreme. Mineral Basin is superb, and again manageable for slightly advanced skiers- they groom runs there too. The only downside, for the first time ever I got not one, but two separate comments on my cheap, short skis. This is the only place I have been where anyone cares about your gear! I have skied a lot of top-notch resorts, but this is my favorite, despite a couple of ski-gear snob comments.
