Where would you go from Sedona AZ?
What is a reasonable compromise between travel time and great skiing? Something more than Arizona Snowbowl. I happen to like groomed trails, so the amount they do is an important factor also.
Thanks. |

Brian Head pops into mind. Telluride, Crested Butte maybe? Taos? That's about all your options. Do you have a map? |

How about a tour of second-rank areas? Mt Charleston in Nevada, then June Mt in California, Mt Rose back in Nevada, and Mt Shasta in California. I guarantee no one has ever done that tour before. |

Had to look Shasta up - last I noticed was back in the late 70s when the avalanche took out the lifts; I didn't notice when local money opened a low key ski area on the flank: so, go ahead and send ski folks up to Shasta. In any case, Shasta the mountain should be on everyone's bucket list. |

Stayed often at the Christmas Tree restaurant on the highway just below. My friend were caretakers. Had a place in Incline. |

In any case, Shasta the mountain should be on everyone's bucket list. You gotta respect a ski area where the lifts go nowhere near the top, and it still gets wiped out by avalanche. The only time I have been there is summer of 1972, when my brother and I were both in the Navy. I picked him up at Mare Island where he was in DS school and we drove up on a Friday afternoon. The next day before dawn we started an attempt to climb Shasta. I underestimated a few things - how far away Shasta is, how high the mountain is, and how much snow was left on the mountain late in the summer - one of the few places in California with glaciers, and we had no ice gear. I was in the middle of an odd Navy assignment then - overnight watches 4 nights in a row, then 4 days off, so my rhythms were totally whacked. I dropped him back at Mare Island late Sunday, and then had to drive straight through to get back to San Diego in time. |

Brian Head looks to be the best bet, especially since we can then stop over at Bryce. Do they normally have a fair amount of groomed trails? |

As a nationwide tourguide I found that whole area to be the best in the country for that kind of stuff. Grand Canyon, Moab area (2 national parks, a state park that overlooks one of them), Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef. And those are just the centers of attention. Each is really part of a much bigger area that offers much that doesn't fall inside the boundaries of the named attraction. Don't take the interstate unless pinched for time or weather.

Is that an issue, or are they fast enough? They just put in a quad, but I haven't been there since they put it in. Before that I felt they were certainly fast enough. It's not a huge place, but it's NICE. Family-oriented, excellent grooming, good food, good rental shop, nearby condos and motels, friendly staff. My friend and I made a reservation for a time share in March, and we made it a couple of months ago so we wouldn't miss out this year. What exactly are you looking for? -- Cheers, Bev Bender: And so I ask you this one question: Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them? |
