Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • For advanced, technical riding, it's Kirkwood by far.
  • Kirkwood is awesome, but it's a 45 drive from SLT. You'll need a car.
  • Hit Heavenly and Northstar on weekdays, Kirkwood on weekend.
  • Kirkwood for the snow, Whistler for the party (and decent snow).
  • Best: Kirkwood, Jackson, snowbird. All have great pow, terrain, and vibes

Cons

  • How the hell are they claiming kirkwood is gonna get 40% - 50% of the annual snowfall in one storm?
  • Kirkwood tends to shut down more in high winds ... Kirkwood’s grooming SUCKS.
  • Cheap flights into Reno Affordable BnBs Concern: Not sure about shuttle/public transport from the airport and overall snow conditions in mid-March
  • Unless it’s a view of the crowds or day ticket prices.
