[net.rec.ski] Ski trip information request

clark@sdcsla.UUCP (Clark Quinn) (11/21/84)

A friend and I are going to take the week after New Years and go
skiing.  However, we are not sure where we want to go.  We've
gone to Tahoe the last three years and would really like to 
go somewhere new.  We will be leaving from San Diego and are
looking for somewhere we can go in his four-wheel drive truck *or*
someplace we can fly to.  Some of the criteria that are high
on our priority list--
	
	Not too expensive (I am a graduate student)

	Not too crowded (We are willing to forego the absolute best for a
	little less crowds)

	Great snow, not east coast ice.

Some of the places we have considered are Taos, Colorado, Utah.  I would
greatly appreciate any advice or tips from those who live in such places, 
those who have made similar trips successfully, and those who have just 
heard of such places.  

In particular, information about where to stay, how to get around (if we fly), 
where to eat, where to party, and (of course) what are the best places to 
ski near there would be appreciated.  And, how to do the above with minimum 
expenditure and maximum fun.

I will summarize the results to the net, so please mail the responses to me.
