There's all sorts of friendly (and not-so-friendly) jabs, barbs and disses that are slung, sprayed, and spewed back and forth between Coloradans and Utahans over which city has the better skiing, Denver or Salt Lake City. Of course, you know what all of us here at Black Diamond HQ in Salt Lake City think—come on! Which leads us to Winger For The Weekend 76, which beautifully showcases what makes a fly&drive ski vacation to Utah irrefutably superior to Colorado's. To all our friends in Colorado, sorry... but you know this Winger is the truth.

Don't fly into DIA. Use Eagle if you're going to Vail, Hayden for the 'Boat, or put out the beacoup bucks for Aspen. Or go to SLC.

Awesome and the truth! I wish I had figured this out sooner and not wasted so many trips to Colorado. Been going through SLC for three years now and it is so much better. Plus the highways to the Utah resorts don't turn into parking lots.

You are definitely not lying about wait time just to get your skis/board off of the ONE damn carousel in Denver. Coming home to Denver last month I waited for almost an hour just to get my board.
Also from the video, that's what you get for going to Vail. Go to a much better mountain. Breckenridge isn't that far away.
I will have to check out SLC very soon though!
