2 Deer Valley: OK, this is an odd choice. Deer Valley is known for immaculate grooming and a very high end level of service, and a very high price. Not the usual choice for sure. BUT Deer Valley also has excellent tree skiing, quite a bit of steeper stuff to keep the more aggressive skiers in the group happy. The slopes are also less crowded and they actually limit the number of people allowed on the hill to preserve the quality of skiing. I was in Salt Lake City and talked with some locals, they said plenty of good things about Deer Valley! How do we do this? We are not staying at Deer Valley, but we are a 10 minute shuttle from a gondola on the back side of the resort. Here s the web site: Sundance: While we are in the neighborhood why not take a day and go to Robert Redford s place? Sundance is a small area and good for a day with skiing for all levels and a bit of history. It s 20 minutes away from our place. The Owl Bar is quite unique featuring a rosewood bar that once hosted Butch Cassidy s gang. Heard that there are a few bullet holes in it. Is Sundance on your bucket list? Alta: We are scheduling a day trip to Alta, the Mecca of skiing. Since this is a 1 day trip and we do not know how many people will need passes, the lift ticket is not included at present. In the past we could buy lift tickets in the grocery stores for a nice price. Liftopia may also be a good option. IKON passes are good at Alta. More on this as we get closer. In the event that the Little Cottonwood Canyon is closed, we will divert to Solitude, a great Plan B. NOTE! Deer Valley and Alta are not snowboard friendly. Lodging: We have made reservation at the Zermatt Resort in Midway, UT. Our tour operator recommended the Zermatt, and I personally visited there in June. It is a VERY nice place build on a Swiss theme. 2 restaurants, a bar, very nice pool/tub area, full service spa, even a Swiss bakery. The place is first class and reports from other trip leaders confirm this. A full breakfast is included. The resort is kind of in the middle of nowhere but a short, and free, shuttle is provided to town where we find a good choice of restaurants, stores etc. The Crater: We ll take an evening for a swim in The Crater. It s right across the street from our resort. Do check out this link! Midway UT: Midway is on the East side of the Wasatch in the Heber Valley. It s a small town with a Main St and not a whole lot more. There are enough places to eat and such. How do we get there? We have the following blocks of air reserved: Air Block # 1 = 14 seats Pittsburgh to Salt Lake City nonstop on Delta Airlines Feb 2 Delta #2602 Pittsburgh to Salt Lake 800 am am Feb 9 Delta #2845 Salt Lake to Pittsburgh 500 pm-1140 pm Block #2 = 14 seats Cleveland to Salt Lake City nonstop on Delta Airlines Feb 2 Delta #2119 Cleveland to Salt Lake 830 am am Feb 9 Delta #1414 Salt Lake to Cleveland 500 pm-1050 pm We will try to get earlier return flights but this is pretty good!
