Southwest will open their flight schedule for sale through March 6, 2024 on June 29. The time is near.

Presidents Day falls the weekend AFTER Mardi Gras so for those skiing that week there will still be some of that holiday impact but not as bad as last year.

We're headed back to Park City 2/10-2/17.

I'll be up there a couple days by myself while my wife and daughter enjoy some of Mardi Gras weekend and come up to join me on either Sunday night or Monday morning.

I’ll be in Jackson Hole 3/10-3/15 staying at Snake River lodge.
Any must eat restaurants or iconic runs that shouldn’t be missed?

Million dollar cowboy bar is usually a good stop, it's right in downtown Jackson

For iconic runs, what level skier/boarder are you? Tons of variety there but Corbett's is by far the most popular. I really enjoy the thunder chair and skiing under the tram to lap the lift. Sublette is also awesome with Pepe's Run. Another good choice is taking Sublette and cutting over on Tensleep over to the Cirque, try out Pair-a-chuhtes (usually untouched powder even in the afternoons). Posting a link to those few days at Jackson from my roadtrip in March.

If a blue skier, I'd start all the way on the right side of the mountain and work your way left. The toughest runs are on the left, little easier on the right. Start with Apres Vouz lift and do the blues there (they were all groomed when I went) then work your way to Teton and Casper lifts. Once you get a feel for the mountain then you can make your way to Thunder/Sublette.

Teton Thai was really good and not far from where you are staying.

No big plans yet. I’ve got both Ikon Base and Epic Local. The plans are an early season or MG Tahoe trip, plus more long weekends at CB, Beaver Creek, and Steamboat. Day trips to Keystone and WP as usual.

Got Epic Local.We’ll make a few trips to Breckenridge. The only one currently scheduled is late February. I definitely intend to make an early April trip, too.

I have the base Ikon this year but I bought a 3-day Epic pass as well, going to Tahoe in early February(Heavenly, Kirkwood and Palisades) and Revelstoke at the end of February. Colorado in early April(Copper and A-Basin) will try to squeeze another CO trip in as well.

Have all my flights booked, scooped up some nice deals. Really contemplated Europe but the cost would eat up a lot of my budget, would have been more than Tahoe and Revy combined.

I got Ikon base for the first time ever. We are planning a big trip to Banff, not sure when. Then I will have some Utah days mixed in there.

~6 months and counting

I'm ready. Ski trip with the family likely in February or March. Need to figure out the details, but probably the Beave or Telluride or something kid friendly.

Then, I am trying to plan a solo trip. Right now, I am vacillating between the Wapta or Bow-to-Yoho Traverses, and have a few days at Sunshine, or the Spearhead Traverse, and have a few days at Whistler/Blackcomb. Tough decisions.

Banff is awesome, the Skibig3 website has some nice lodging deals with the Ikon pass.
