I say "we" because I work in ski resort marketing.
No, I’ll say there is some wind.
Sure I’ve found some nice wind loaded areas, but these areas are just that, areas.
A wide ski will float you through even the heaviest of snow.
What makes a black diamond run in Summit County is moguls.
Otherwise the vast majority of resorts don’t have much to offer in the realm of steep terrain.
The Sierras, on the other hand, are steep and moguls are few and far between.
Summit county is a great place for park.
The smaller snow totals give the pros significantly more park days.
The mountains are mellow and great for the 7 days a year tourists.
The villages and towns are superior in the eyes of the tourist, to anything in the Sierras.
There are slow signs where people actually slow down.
There are a ton of resorts in a pretty accessible area.
