💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When planning your visit to the Pig Pen Saloon at Alta Ski Area, aim for mid-week visits during peak ski season (January to March) for fewer crowds and optimal snow conditions. Dress in layers, as temperatures can vary; a waterproof jacket, insulated gloves, and goggles are essential. Don't forget to bring cash for quick transactions, as some vendors may not accept cards. For the best photo opportunities, capture the stunning mountain backdrop during golden hour—early morning or late afternoon. Familiarize yourself with local ski etiquette: yield to those below you and maintain control of your speed. Lastly, enjoy the après-ski scene, but remember to drink responsibly to stay safe while skiing back to your accommodations.
What Dan Packs
Winter changes everything. These make the difference between suffering and enjoying:
Smith Ski Goggles
EssentialUtah powder means flat light. Good goggles are the difference between seeing terrain and guessing.
Hand Warmers
For lift rides. Cheap insurance against frozen fingers.
Helmet with MIPS
EssentialTrees are unforgiving. MIPS technology reduces rotational impact.
