As for my time, I will certainly ski the Bird with you all any day. I have a hard time justifying paying for a ticket when I have a pass there. Also, IMHO, the Bird is the best for snow and lift access, that is why I chose to ski there.

Just a warning to all: while Snowbird is my absolute favorite resort, its difficulty ratings are highly relative; most blue square runs at the Bird would be black diamonds most other places. It's quite a challenging resort, particularly for those used to midwestern/northeastern bunny hills. Novice skiers/boarders will have a better time at Brighton, Park City or (gasp) Deer Valley where milder terrain is in greater abundance. Seasoned diehards, however, will definitely want to head straight for the tram line.
