I am taking my two nine year olds skiing for the first time to Salt
Lake, and am getting a bit overwhelmed by the number of hills and
places to ski. The kids have never skied before, in fact have never
seen snow. We are going to be in Salt Lake the last weekend in
February. Can someone who has been to this area help me with these
questions?

Which mountain has a great ski school for kids? Some that I have seen
only have a few hours on the slopes. A personal recommendation would
be great.

Which mountain has a great selection of blue runs? (for me!)

We will be there over a weekend. Which mountain will I not spend most
of my time in a lift line?

Another vote for Deer Valley. Very good place for the kids to
learn, a lot of good blue and black cruising runs for you, a cap on
daily ticket sales to keep the crowds from getting too thick; sounds
like a good fit.
