EntDoc,
There are many great places to ski in Utah. Alta is a favorite with the locals. Deer Valley is very famous for their service, dinning and imaculately groomed ski runs. It is also the most expensive. Snowbird is loved by the more advanced skiiers. Sundance is very close to the shop. It is about 45 minutes from us. I do not believe you can go wrong with any of the resorts.
The Fairfield Marriot has been very popular with our visitors in the past. The Hampton Inn and La Quinta both in Orem Utah, and just off I-15, are the most convient to the shop and find.
Hope this helps,
