December: Banff January: WP/Steamboat/Copper February: Jackson Early March: SLC Late March: Big Sky Leaning pretty heavily into La Nina favored destinations this season. Bought the full Ikon so I could ski Jackson, Alta and Snowbasin. I did the WP/Steamboat/Copper loop last year, had a...

I would look at Keystone, great family mountain and one of the cheaper options in Colorado. Lots of condos at the base area, easy walk to the gondola. There is a sledding hill not to far away in Frisco, I also think Keystone might have tubing on the resort but I've never done it. I would look at...

[quote]They can’t possibly be worse than American.[/quote] Yeah, got stuck in Dallas for two days and they offered me a room at some fleabag hotel after I stood in line forever. ...

Late summer/fall is probably the best time to go, Medora is the tourist town in the park that has a bunch of western/cowboy stuff. The park is very scenic with a lot ...

[quote]Worst: ORD or SLC(if you aren't flying Delta). DEN is great for a connection not so much if you have to deal with security and the other BS. [/quote] I now get what Cuse was talking about, MCO is the new worst. Got my bags quick at least but it is so cramped. ...

[quote]Conditions look much better than early Feb when I was there! [/quote] I almost went in February, glad I waited. People thought I was crazy to drive that far for three days of skiing but it was well worth it. Mammoth looks awesome, one of the places on my ski bucket list I need to get t...

[quote]Did you happen to notice what the price was today? Conditions were so bad early february they were charging $20. [/quote] $25 but conditions were pretty brutal early in the day, they'll probably bump it up tomorrow. ...
