Utah Ski Resorts

[Busboy]

Sure, I'll take any ski-oriented suggestions regarding which mountains are better, and which condos are cheaper. But, is there a noticeable difference between the two areas regarding local food? I bought tickets into Salt Lake City but beyond that have no plans. Probably less worried about "fine dining" as we have that here in Washington and resort restaurants, in my experience, tend to overcharge and under-perform. Also, I'm with the (22-year-old) kid and not the wife, so why pay for foie gras? But Mexican/Southwestern and fine pub grub would be very desirable. Also, decent wine/cheese/bread resources.

Thanks!

I love the pizza a settabella's. It's is very traditional neopolitan pizza.

There are several in and out burger places in slc area.

Acme burger bar is very good.

Red iguana has some excellent traditional mole dishes. You can ask for a mole sample before you order so that you can pick the one you like best. I really like the colorado mole.

I ski Alta which is kind of a local type of ski area. Near Alta is snowbird which is a little more challenging. I like these 2 because they are so easy to get to from slc.

Park City/Deer Valley will give you more of a resort ski experience. Plus there is a cool roller coaster for lack of a better word in park city and there is also a little tubing area out by the main highway in park city.
