"A great mountain with tremedous uplift and well groomed runs - weather was cold when I was there (January 08) so snow was in great condition. I am an intermediate and found lots of good ski-ing. There were no "line -ups" at all - in fact in some instances it was like having your own private ski slope!! Some runs are more interesting than others but I had just come from Brighton and Alta on the other side of the mountain which were both great fun to ski - so maybe set a very high standard!!
There is good quality catering all over the hill and the helpful ski hosts are on hand at the big maps to offer advice on how to get about and where best to ski. The "lifties" are also very helpful and polite.
I had a hire car and stayed in the village of Midway - about 20 minutes away. The great advantage of that was to be able to enter the ski area by the "back door" as it were - using the gondola at Deer Crest. This is a fairly new development I think and is located just next the highway from Salt Lake City to Heber City. There is a car park on the side of a hill, and a minibus to take you from your car to the gondola station!!
Plans are to increase substantially the size of the car park - which will rather spoil the quiet entry!!
I also had a day at Park City which is pretty good too - really upmarket catering on the hill!! The Sundance film festival was on at the time so Park City in the evening was different from your usual ski resort!! (They have patio heaters at the free shuttle-bus stops to prevent the filmgoers from freezing!!) However it kept the people off the slopes which suited me!!!"
