Round trip with taxes and fees comes out $290, if can fly on the cheap days of the week. So the question is about the best arrival time of 11:30am, which has a 45-min connection in Midway. Is that reasonable? I worry about the luggage, but have not flown SW much. Planning a trip to Alta in April, so not too worried about Chicago weather delays. The alternative goes thru Las Vegas, but total travel time is 3 hours longer.

291 was my total on the SLC ticket. The 'charges for swapping planes added a few $. I have a Midway change going out and Denver change on the way in. A 45 minute layover was fine the last time I flew to SLC through Denver. I was able to watch the ski bag come out of one Jet and load into another. I carry my boots, ski pants and helmet as carry on, wearing the jacket. I like the early arrival time in order to take use the ski free program in SLC.

FYI

I used them last year to get from the Airport to the LaQuinta. Currently showing as a 20.00 ride.
I just scoped out the TRAX Route - it does not run to the Airport.

QuickStart Pass for those interested
http://www.parkcityinfo.com/static/inde ... entID=1047
Get's you skiing the same day as your boarding pass. Deer Valley, The Canyons and Park City. Park City has night skiing - until 7:30.
When I used Xpress - the closest hotel to airport was mine.

For people interested in this Summit, check www.swavacations.com for deals. During the time frame of this shindig, you can get in for around $500-$600/person for 4-5 nights. This is based on two people together and depends on where you stay and how many days.

Right now we got three rooms booked with 6 people splitting those rooms. Time for a 8 person to join the party. That would get an even number.
Someone is sitting on the on the fence - having never having done something like this. You'll have fun - every place we go - will have something for you to ski - and someone that has been there before to tell you where to find it. Until last year, I never skiied out west and wouldn't have tried it on my own. This is like taking a vacation ski package without having to pay a travel agent....
And the Bonus to this whole deal - for the first person to step up is Stealth Boarder needs a roomie. For that one reason - you can cut your hotel bill in half.
