Solo trip planning
So i'm pretty lame and don't have any friends who ski but I want to plan a trip somewhere out west.. Yeah Yeah use the search jong... Where the fuck should I go? It would be a short trip (leave Fri/Sat home Sun/Mon/Tues) I'd like to get 2 days in. Probably rent a car to get around/sleep in as i have a dirtbag budget.. SO what will get the best bang for my buck going solo? CO UT Tahoe? Thinking about going late Jan/early Feb. So am I dumb for trying to go solo?

Besides the obvious added cost factor (not being able to split costs on rooms and gas) I freaking love travelling alone.

Don't underestimate the cost savings from staying at a place where you can shove breakfast meats in your pocket for lunch.

If solo why plan? Wait for a storm cycle and go.

Not tahoe unless you go last minute. Too many rain events and droughts in recent years. Rockies for sure.

Renting a 4x4 big enough to sleep in is going to be expensive and uncomfortable.
Look for places you can taxi/Uber from the airport to your accommodation and bus from your accommodation to the hill.
SLT fits that bill. Mammoth does too...
Tahoe and CO, not so much.

I was thinking SLC .. Found a pretty cheap flight and booked for jan 25. No pass anywhere so daily tickets are gonna hurt but what can ya do.. So now the question is Alta/snowbird or Park City?
And a dumb question......B B I? Bring Bitches Inside? Blast Benny's Intestines? Bang Blurred Indiscriminately? (no really wtf is that??)

If you can afford it, don't book anything now. Wait until you're a week out and then book based on the weather forecast. Skiing okay terrain in great conditions is way more fun than skiing great terrain in crap conditions.

Pro tip.
Cut a hole in your front pants pocket to always have pocket meat.

Thanks for this! This probably the cheapest lift tickets I will find!
I wish I could but Vacation days are first come first serve so I have to request it off now.. It will probably rain while I'm there.. Or it will DUMP the night before I arrive and they will close the roads!
