We found the Park City, Snowbird and Deer Valley resorts very lovely. They are geared for an all around vacation. If you golf, there is golfing and ice skating.

We were amazed at how good the food was....no crappy lodge food. Very healthy California cuisine...sushi, etc. and good steaks.

Park City offered good family skiing at all levels of skiing. Deer Valley controls the number of folks at the resort, so its slopes are never too crowded. It is definitely an RSSC experience with folks carrying your skis from the car to the lodge and valet parking your car for no fee. The skiing is very varied with some nice tree skiing. Snowbird is very advanced with lots of helicopter skiing.

What we found interesting is that all of the resorts, while close, can offer completely different skiing experiences due to very different weather and logistics. You can have ice at one (but rare in Utah), packed powder in another and fluffy powder in another. Deer Valley really grooms its slopes fantastically. Park City leaves more natural.
