[quote=Anonymous]For beginners, I recommend Solitude over PC.  The issue is that Solitude lodging is mostly VRBO or AirBnB.  Having said that, Park City is probably the way to go for you if you need to use points.  The other resorts do not have the big brand hotels.  They are all independent.  Park City is a cute town with lots of nightlife.  I learned to ski as an adult at Park City 30 years ago.  We don't go to Park City because we like the resorts on the IKON pass over Epic.  Most of the resorts in Utah are IKON, but for Park City/Canyons.

Also, depending on when you go, you are looking at $1000+ for airfare.  We are going to Snowbird/Alta for the holidays this year and this is the first year we have to change planes because the direct flights for the days we were going to be there were 4500 total for the 3 of us.

Alta/Snowbird and Solitude/Brighton are much more isolated.  There is a village at Solitude but it is small.  I would recommend Alta for beginners but not Snowbird.  Alta only has 5 independent hotels that all serve breakfast and dinner included in the price of the room.  Development was restricted in Little Cottonwood Canyon so there aren't many condos either.  I've never skied Brighton but it is right next to Solitude.

Also, if you are making reservations now, whatever you decide.  Make your ski school reservations now too.  Ski School fills up quickly.  I made the reservations at Alta last year for my son in November and I was able to get 3 days but they weren't the days I wanted.
