Hey Guys,
5 guys and I will be coming to SLC Feb22-the 27th. I think we have most of the places to board/ski nailed down, but one question I still have is our flight arrives at 9am, Where would you go for a 1/2 day, Powder Mountain or Snowbasin?
2 people are 45ish and are skiers who like groomers, the rest mid 20's boarders who like trees. Which one would be better for a 1/2 day?

We'll take a day break on Thursday. What kind of area attractions would you all recommend? Any local food places etc? I like a cold beer and a greasy burger.
We are staying at the Staybridge Suites Salt Lake-West Valley City and have a rental truck to use.
Thanks for all your help, Tons of great info on here and searching is frying my brain today.

Im going to be out there next week as well. I have never been there before so I cant comment on the different slopes or where to eat. But one thing my buddies and I were planning for the day off was to get out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. But then again, we are a bunch of car guys and each have a pretty nice quick car in the garage at home so this was fairly appealing to us.

Just a thought.

Sorry to hear about the Mopar part. ;)

I have had 7 mustangs over the last 10 years and all saw the 1320 regularly. But this is why the Flats were so appealing to me to go see. I understand there isnt much to them but to be able to simply be in a place where so much has gone on and so many records have been set is just amazing to me.

So let me get this straight...for a full day they're promising you a minimum of 25 laps? I'd sign up for a couple runs and see how you like it. Truth be told, though, Powder Mountain is seldom crowded, so if it snows you shouldn't even need to do a cat trip...there will be freshies everywhere all day...

Ya.....What this guy said^^^^^^^^

Go to snowbasin to eat and be pampered. Go to Pow Mow to ride.

If theres fresh snow, hit powder country off the backside of Hidden lake. Theres a shuttle bus that picks you up on the road and takes you back to the main lodge...Then another shuttle will take you back up to hidden lake if you want to skip the slow lifts and groomers.

If powder country is closed, you wont want to pay the snowcat prices anyway because conditions will be similar to powder country and not worth the money...

Plus Powmow has night boarding. I dont think snowbasin does, so get a little more ride time if that interests you.

enjoy!
