salt lake city riding

[bent240sx]

i am going to be in slc soon and i am looking for opinions on the best place to ride that offers LIFT service. i will be doing strictly fr/dh riding NO XC. if anyone in the area (or anyone outside the area with first hand info) can give me some help that would be great.

Define "soon".

Most everything will be snowed until AT LEAST the end of May. Deer Valley might be clear then...might. There will likely be snow still when the NORBA rolls into town. We've had an assload of snow. Most area resorts offer lifts, but most only have XC trails built. Deer Valley and Park City MR have some stuff (The PC is generally illegal...), but not much. Ski resort DH in Utah kinda sucks...you have to know people who know where stuff is, generally...Call up Go-Ride, they can give you more info.

Snowbasin (1.5H from Salt Lake) has some DH trails I hear, but I've never ridden down there. I'll ask some Ogden guys I know.

Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, and Brighton are all likely to still be snowy at that point in time. I believe Brighton will be running mtb lifts this year, the Bird and Solitude already do.

DV, PCMR, and Snowbasin all should be pretty much clear by June.

Sundance has opened for biking but it's more a slalom bike type or resort. Jsut fast singletrack, fun but not techy

Sundance will suck unless you have a bike you can climb on. XC trails, with only one that is straight downhill.
