True skier's mountain.
Pros: Vertical, terrain, vertical, snow (they tell me), lifts, vertical.
Cons: Not much snow making, no apres ski scene. -
Best in the Wasatch for the off-piste hardcore
Pros: steep chutes, steep bowls, steep trees, steep groomers
Cons: A few boring blues, almost no meaningful greens -
Gad Chutes
Pros: Snow is Filling in at Last
Cons: Snow's still a bit thin in places
