[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 and 6 yr olds started skiing at Snowbird (because we didn't know better) and it turned out great -- because awesome ski school, awesome snow and weather. They came home good skiers. And someone asked about ice -- that's an east coast question. I've never seen an icy ski mountain in Utah or Colorado. [/quote]

You are lucky. We go 2-3 times a season and have had plenty of ice. Interestingly Deer Valley has been one of the iciest places we've been in the west. It's well groomed ice, but it's still ice. Jackson Hole has been the least icy but we've mostly been there in March, only once in December and once in February. Alta is usually good.[/quote]

I love Deer Valley but Alta tends to get a lot more snow than Deer Valley. dV and Park City just don't get as much snow as the other Utah places. I am going to Utah in a few weeks and am staying in SLC so I can be flexible about where I ski. As a result I have been tracking weather and conditions and Alta has gotten about twice as much snow so far (around 80 inches for Alta vs 40 for DV). DV has some snowmaking but it's hard to make up for all that extra natural snow. Plus OP has a free place to stay at Alta. [/quote]
