Hi
Planing a roadtrip Sweden > Jackson Hole in late december, plan to land in Salt Lake City just before christmas.
What resorts are NOT to be missed in the Utah area if we are looking for good freeriding and hike's? 1 snowboard in the team so Alta is off limits I guess.
thanks
Magnus
snowbird and snowbasin are good places to check out, solitude/brighton could be fun a day too
1.Snowbird
2.Snowbasin
3.Solitude
4.Powder Mountain
This is by no means a big resort, but if you want to check out a smaller area that is cheap and, if there is good snow, can be a blast - Pebble Creek Ski Area outside of Pocatello, Idaho (off of I-15). Also be sure to hit a day at Grand Targhee when in JH.
Deer Valley is #1 according to some reports.
Great inputs thanks.
Will check out Grand Targhee, any other good ones near Jackson Hole?

As mentioned above the only one I personally believe is worth the trip is Grand Targhee....Snow King is "fun" i guess and right in town so why not if you got a day...Quote:

And, if you are driving through Pocatello at chow time, be sure to stop at a restaurant called "Butterburr's".
Snowbasin sucks, do not come here:D
just kidding, we need more mags
Could take the boat but no...Quote:

snowboarders would hate Alta anyways, it's all about traversing
Ditch your buddy and hit Alta for a day, he can stay at the bird which is connected.
Good luck at x-mas time...it's not busy at all
Powder mountian and ride the Cat for $8, totally worth it, or hike it for free!
Oh yeah....4 wheel drive or you won't make it up the canyons on powder days! Chains or 4 X 4 only, canyons are restricted.
Jackson to SLC is about 4.5 hours with good weather...use the force if it's storming.

The bird, the basin, powder, targee and on to j-hole. Sounds sweet!
