Thnx 4 all the info guys! Im in NJ so Ill be flying from Newark airport or laguardia.. I know laguardia has jetblue and newark doesnt. And what about transportation, how did evry1 get around or would car rental b an option, which im hoping not. So guess it be best to look for flights and not really worry about stays now unless I can get a good deal with packages from expedia or orbitz? I defetnitely wanna go for a weekend from like a thursday to a monday like that enjoy the mountains fri.,sat.,sun. hopefully..

Thats awsome!! but i also heard that theres certain mountain resorts that dont accept snowboarders?? At theses resorts that u stayed at , when u said " the mountains were near" was it a near drive or walk? Im jus wondering ahead of time how i would manage or best way to get around since i dont know anything about there taxi or bs systems!! again thanks in advance!!

Alta and Deer Valley are the only two resorts in Utah that don't allow snowboarding. Without reading back, I doubt anyone recommended either of these places. You can use the public bus system in Salt Lake City to get to the Cottonwood resorts. Tons of people use this. If you stay in Eden there is a shuttle bus for Powder Mountain. To get to Snobasin I think you'll need a car. There wasn't really any lodging there that I saw and I also don't remember any shuttles running to that resort.

SLC is a simple airport. Your snowboard bag will come out of a separate shoot so dont panic. Also they have alot of rental cars there. If u get a car depending on the weather u may require one like an suv, most likely that is your best ave. I got a taurus and lucked out for when it stormed I didnt need to drive.

I went to Snowbird in 2003 and it was dope. Not much freestyle when I was there (went in March) but there are plenty of 'off-trail' lines and nice drops. The weather is definitely something to keep an eye on. The day after I left, there was a huge storm and the hotel I stayed in apparently got snowed in and it only snowed about a foot or two while I was there.

Two words: Snow Basin.

Hands down the sweetest lodges you will ever walk into. Not to mention the kick ass terrain there. Awesome food, awesome facilities, awesome mountain and not any more expensive than the other mountains in the area.

Oh and if you go to The Canyons make sure you check out the trail called Canis Lupus.
