Winter is on it's way! Time to talk skiing!
SKI UTAH!
Inspired by a mega Ski Group Meet-up in New York, I decided to create a show about Utah, one of my favorite places to ski.

I got really jazzed when one of the groups was telling me about their upcoming trip to Brighton, which is one of many ski resorts located around Salt Lake City.

I have skied Utah many times. Most experiences were great but the last time resulted in an injury for the person I was with so I also became very familiar with Salt Lake City, which I also talk about on the podcast.

But most of the focus of today's podcast is on Park City and the ski resorts that are located around Park City.

Dear Valley (skiers)
Park City
Canyons

I talk about packing strategy, too. When you fly to Utah for the skiing, it's good to know what NOT to bring because between equipment and bulky clothes, there's already a ton of stuff to drag from the baggage carousel.

Finally, I also talk about some lodging strategies if you are planning to be in Park City during Sundance Film Festival, which is not only a great time to see some great flicks, but the slopes are great at that time, too.

I mentioned on the podcast a lift ticket /ski ticket deal with The Canyons. I have information on last year's deal, and actually, several ski resorts participated. I have not seen any information on whether this deal is happening this year (2013-2014). Here is some information on last year's deal (Look at listing number 4 on this webpage): http://www.saltlakecityonthecheap.com/free-or-cheap-ski-lift-tickets-in-utah/
