Any recommendations on where to rent skis, boots, poles in Salt Lake City?

For price and basic rental along with some high performance go to Ski
Connection just north of the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Ask for Steve
tell them Bob T. sent you. 801-942-2002.

If you want to switch out and do more of a demo thing you might be better
off to rent on the hill. Alta is promoting "more demo shacks" but I'm not
sure how it works. Check their website.

When are you coming?

Thanks Pigo.

It's an early Feb trip. I'm trying to get my San Diego friend to meet me in
SLC, but he's leaning toward Tahoe (the price of driving vs flying). If I
book now I can get a non-stop flight to SLC for $200 round trip! He's the
advanced skiier and I'm the advanced beginner or solid intermediate
(depending on your definitions). I can ski many of the blacks at Sugar Bowl
and a few of the blacks at Squaw and all of the blacks at Northstar. I'm
dying to try some powder skiing and it doesn't even have to be untracked
(that would be a real treat, though). I've skied (sp?) 6 to 12 inches of
fresh snow (I guess Utah might call it wet powder, but it was powder to me!)
at Tahoe and loved it. I think I'm ready for 1 to 2 feet of dry powder.

The best plan is to come and hope for the best but take what you get and
have a good time.

Best places for powder are Alta and Deer Valley as they don't allow
snowboards. So ever when it's tracked it's not squished.

Obviously we have to be a little cautious because of our resident deranged
stalker kook. But let me know when it get's closer I'll let you know the
conditions and options.

Is "it" in our neighborhood, again?

Just like a 6 foot tall cockroach:

I don't think so. How would we know? There's bound to be an emergency
motorcycle trip if we get too close. Maybe we can set up a meet on the
traverse to mid-Ballroom. He'd never venture out there.


The doctor thought for a moment and said, yes, there's a nasty bug
going around.

Guffaw Hack Cough........

I seem to have caught it too. I would have loved to skied yesterday but felt
too crappy.

god's and my vacation plans. Thanks for the offer and the info.
