Snowbird or Snobasin Utah?

Going to be in UT next month riding. Have several intermediate to advanced riders. Which mountain is better for snowboarding? Thanks.

Snowbird

Snowbird gets more snow, has better terrain, and more mountian. Hands down Snowbird is the better resort. From my house Snowbird is and hour and 10 and snowbasin is 20, and I still prefer to hit snowbird if given the choice between only the two.

stoked

Liftopia can save you 20% on passes to 'da bird. However, I think Snowbasin kicks ass. Less people on the hill, away from the SLC crowd. Two gondolas without lines? I bet you can find discount tickets at some of the ski or snowboard shops in Ogden or SLC. If you stay in SLC, you drive in the opposite direction of rush hour traffic to get to Snowbasin, usually smooth sailing.

snowbird is like squaw, sure the terrain is amazing but its very very very very very very very busy and it get tracked out very very very veru very quickly
snowbasin is way more chill from what i understand and people are way less amped and aggro

Do both

Hit them both! That's what I'm doing. I'll be in Utah Feb 23-March 1 and we are hitting: Snowbird, Snowbasin, Park City, The Canyons, and Brighton. I've never been to Utah, so I want to experience it all!
