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?

Finally, where should I purchase lift tickets and ski rentals. Salt
Lake or at the mountain?
Thanks in advance for any advice!


Unless you want to ski steeps and powder at Alta, stay out of Utah.
Utah pretty much just sucks. For overpriced destination resort
familiy rip off packages, go to Colorado. You will be equally ripped
off but at least you won't be giving as much money to the Mormons.
You want a nice out of the way place with good snow? Grand Targhee
Idaho. You want something really nice without all the idiots? Try
Fernie, B.C.
