Good deals on spring skiing?
Hoping to get in a few days out west this spring with my dad. Can't do a week, but hopefully like a wed-sun or thur-mon trip in late march/early april.
Thinking about Alta/Snowbird. Skiied a day at Snowbird last January and thought it had some good stuff, and it would be an easy nonstop flight into SLC for both myself and my dad.
But, I'm open to other suggestions. Any good deals to be had? Places with easy access are key since it is a shorter trip and we want to limit travel time.
For reference, our favorite area is Telluride by far, but getting there from the midwest is a long process. Big fan of Jackson Hole as well, would consider it if there were good deals, but I can't get direct flights there from Chicago anymore. Was not crazy about Park City/Canyons--they had bad conditions when I was there (canyons was very brown), but other than Jupiter Bowl, there wasn't too much that impressed me.
We are both pretty strong skiers. Mostly enjoy having access to open trees and gladed areas. Outside of gnarly chutes and other extreme stuff, we can pretty much ski anything. Lift 9 at Telluride is a favorite.
TL;DR. Looking for any deals/suggestions for spring spots out west for advanced skiers. Thanks.
