    Do they rate them by how steep the off load ramps are?

    You might have to ask Benny about that. As far as I know, he's the off-ramp expert.

    Well, gentle soul, as a matter of fact, my problem this season is that I have 17 passes to mountains in Utah. So, I have to sleep in the absolutely charming ski towns of SLC and Ogden.

    Hey, you ain't had a better meal with your boots on than brunch at Stein's. I saw the man himself making muffins in the kitchen.

    #1 for challenge was Taos. I have never skied it so I don't have first hand experience but in past reviews the top challenge was always, Jackson, Telluride, Snowbird, Alta etc, I don't recall Taos ever being close to the top of the list.

    I do recall that four or five years ago Powder Mountain was #1 for best snow. I always figured somehow the "ballot box" got stuffed.

    I am a gentle soul, thank you for recognizing that.

    A high roller like you can't afford to stay at the resorts? WTF?

    SLC and Ogden, It'll be just like staying in your home town except a thousand times nicer.
    Hunting kicks ass.
    Chicks dig Labs.
    I'll keep my job, my money and my guns and you can keep the change.

    One word. Interlodge. Stay up there, you can be stuck. Cheap Mexican in town almost makes it worth it.

    You have a typical westerner's vision of what it's like to live in the east, if you think SLC is better than most towns here. It's a shitty, sprawled, ugly city with brown air. But, the Mexican food is cheap and awesome.
