Ski America Skiing
Best place to ski early in America?
We normally ski colorado, this year we are looking at snowbird utah, Has anyone skied there and is the skiing good around Thanksgiving? Thanks guys for any info there.
Thanksgiving is always iffy anywhere. But the Salt Lake City resorts are a good bet. Snowbird or Alta would have the best chance at being good then.
I've heard they've already gotten a couple storms already. Check out their website. Have fun.

Alpine Skiing $89.22 Alpine skiing (or downhill skiing ) is the sport of sliding down snowcovered hills on skis with fixedheel bindings. Alpine skiing can be contrasted with nordic skiing, in which skiers use freeheel bindings. (Types of nordic skiing include crosscountry, ski jumping and Telemark.) Alpine skiing may take place at a ski resort where mechanical ski lifts have been installed to transport skiers up the mountain and where snow is groomed, avalanches are controlled and trees are cut to create trails. Alternatively, alpine skiers may pursue the sport in less controlled environments; this practice is variously referred to as ski touring, backcountry skiing or extreme skiing. The sport is named for the European Alps where it originated in the late 1880s. Today, it is popular wherever the combination of snow, mountain slopes, and a sufficient tourist infrastructure can be built up, including parts of Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, the South American Andes and East Asia.

Skiing at Lake Tahoe (Paperback) $35.3 Organized ski racing in America started near Lake Tahoe in the 1860s when gold miners rode 15-foot boards that reached speeds near 100 miles per hour. By 1895, residents of Truckee had started the nation`s first winter carnival west of the Rocky Mountains and soon built the largest ski jump in California. Today`s Lake Tahoe, with significant annual snowfall, has become home to the largest concentration of ski resorts on the continent. Places like Mount Rose, Squaw Valley (home of the 1960 Winter Olympics), Sugar Bowl, Heavenly Valley, Homewood, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood, Diamond Peak, Donner Ski Ranch, Granlibakken, and Northstar-at-Tahoe have seen skiing styles, sports, and fashions churn through the decades, while now gone resorts, such as Edelweiss and White Hills Ski Resort, echo the memories of yesterday`s skiers through the pines. |
