The last time I was at Alta and Snowbird was back in ‘76. They were rather easy to get to at the time. Have things changed! I had no idea.
Here in North Idaho, we have five resorts within an hour and you hardly ever have to wait for a lift, even during Christmas Week. The snow isn’t as good as the legendary Utah snow, but it’s quite good. And lift prices are a lot less than the glamour resorts in Utah, Colorado and California.
Targhee was always a great break from Jackson,
especially for us old farts.
