[net.rec.ski] Alta vs. Park City-Query

jj (04/04/83)

Some folks at the labs here are thinking of running a trip to Utah
next year (Jan.  of Feb.).  The debate that is currently raging,
or at least whimpering, is the question of whether to go
to the Park City area, to to Alta/Snowbird.  I must say that I'm
solidly for Alta, but that most of the people at MH are
solidly for Park City. (They quote shorter lift lines, etc.)
When I was at Alta, there weren't any lift lines, except on Saturday,
when all the locals were leaving in disgust at the "ridiculous" 15 minutes
base lines.  Is that typical?  <There was free space on the mountain lifts.>
I haven't been to Park City, I have avoided it on it's 'party' reputation, 
hence I can't really assert myself.

So--
I would appreciate a short note from those of you with some comparative
knowledge discussing which resort you like the best, etc...
