Yeah, big changes, and not necessarily for the better. Deer Valley means ridiculously high prices, inaccessibility for most people, ugly McMansions littering the hill, and sorry, but I have skied in Europe and think the food in Deer Valley kinda sucks. Too bad for Solitude fans.
Flying in from Seattle and Heading for Solitude for 4 nights end of Feb. wanted to try something different from Snowbird et al. Usually head for Canada but not enough time. Is this going to be a mistake? Wanted to park the car and not need it. My buddy and I ski pretty hard. But we already got a dose of the high condo prices. Comment, anyone?– best way to hit the 3 days on the slopes–?
We’ve found accommodations in Canada generally better since a basic condo comes with a private hot tub on your deck. None of this community stuff.
