- My wife and I love going to Utah every year to ski. We love that the ski resorts are all pretty close to our favorite hotel in Salt Lake. And we can just get our hands on a Salt Lake City business directory and find all the local places that nobody else seems to know about! If it were up to me, I'd move my family out there in a heartbeat.

- My husband is on the National Ski Patrol and patrols at White Pass Washington. I think he would beg to differ on where the best snow is! 5* :o)

- I just love Alta, Utah! Although now I'm in Tahoe, I had a season pass there for 4 seasons back in the day. Some of the best moments of my life have been on epic powderdays in the Wasatch Mountains. I spent a season at Brighton before I got my Alta pass in a drawing. Brighton is also wonderful.
