[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, we went to deer valley/park city recently and 2 out of 4 us had altitude sickness for two days. Not sure why people are saying it’s not an issue there.[/quote] This is definitely the exception, not the norm. While you can experience altitude sickness as low as 6500 feet (Deer valley base is at 6570ft). it is definitely not typical. Most people don't have issues until 8 or 10k. The elevation at which you are sleeping matters a lot more because if the peak is a higher elevation you aren't really spending much time there. People tend to have more issue in CO, places like Breck, because the base is at 10K.[/quote]
