Is Deer Valley still skiing only? It's been a while since I've been but I loved it. It was excellent snow as I remember and without snowboarders, it wasn't very crowded. I guess the price there can also hinder the large crowds.

How many days will they be skiing? Where will you be staying? What rental shop will you be using? Do you only want to ski Breck or do you think the kids will want a day at Vail too?
If you're skiing the 26-31 you'll want to buy day passes now. The Epic Local is blacked out on those days. If not, the Local is $377 for unlimited which breaks even at 6 days. If you're going to be skiing ANY of those days then id do the epic day passes + restricted days. I think thats about $61 a day. The epic local gets you unlimited riding at Breck. The earlier you buy the better as they go up in price on the 19th and stop being sold first to mid December.
If you need rentals, I work at the Charter Sports in Vail but can't get you a deal if you book one of the spots in Breck. Hope you have a great trip

Anyone have any insight into Park City on places to eat, ski schools, rentals, etc? Going with family over Christmas break and will have 2 kids that need lessons.

Worry less about crowds and more about being socked in. Fog can be brutal

Picked up a pair of Kendo 88s and some used, but significantly upgraded boots at a ski swap today. One ski has a spot where to top sheet is cut but should be able to glue it back down pretty easy. Bottoms are in great shape. Couldn't say no to $200.
I think I got it sealed down well. We'll see how it holds up.JustPanda said:
If you need help doctoring the top sheet back, lmk. That's one of the things I do all the time in the shop: Relam peeling top sheets otherwise people think you're giving them crappy gear.

We'll be skiing Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
I don't want to jinx it, but I don't remember it being that bad two years ago. After lunch time you can get quite a few laps in.
We go on MLK weekend most years and I've never felt the crowds were too much.
On a sunny day the views into Glacier National Park from the top of the ski mountain are spectacular.

That's awesome. We're still waiting on the snow up here. My slope in the Idaho panhandle had like 9" of pack as of yesterday. I'm pretty sure they got more overnight/today.

I know it's not fancy or anything, but what's the snow like at Ski Apache near Ruidoso between Christmas and New Years? Thinking about making a quick run out there with the family.
Unless some out of the usual storms come through, snow conditions then aren't very good down there512Ag said:
