| Is this a good idea? We have epic passes. Kids have been skiing for a few years, but I really want them to get some all day ski school lessons in this year. DH snowboards so he'll be out doing his thing. I can use some additional lessons myself. Would love advice on whether there will be enough snow, where to stay, etc. |

Utah in late Jan is a pretty safe bet.

A good idea for what? Crowds? Conditions?
FYI It's also MLK weekend so big crowds. |

| But what if Trump wins? Won’t you be too depressed? |

We'll be in Whistler instead. |

In Utah? No, not necessarily. Not compared to many other ski destinations in North America. |

Decide on which mountain or mountains you want to ski. |

With Epic passes you are limited to Park City/Canyons. While PC doesn’t get the snow that Snowbird/Alta gets, you will be fine in mid-January for snow. We are avid skiers and go to Utah often, most recently in April of this year, and we had some powder days.
I don’t have any specific recs for PC. It has been a long time since we’ve been there. We have Ikon passes and go to Snowbird/Alta or Solitude. (haven’t tried Brighton) |

Who said we were comparing? January i Utah is in fact very cold. Letting OP know so they have the appropriate gear. |

I stayed at the Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City last summer and it was a great deal for a small suite with a kitchen.
Its not a terrible drive from SLC proper either. |
