If I were guessing, I'd say we'll end up with a small group at Alta on Monday, and a larger group at Park City on Friday.
Here are the maps from Park City and Alta to the airport. I would pad the timings given for traffic. I've usually experienced fast exits from Alta, but once it took over 40 minutes just to get down the canyon due to bad weather.
The lifts usually stop running around 4 or 4:30. With good road conditions, you might be able to return your equipment and get to the airport in about 1.5 hours, but only if all the conditions were good (no lines at the ski rental return, no bad weather or traffic). I'd estimate more like 2 to 2.5 hours to be safe.
Dale might have a better estimate, he probably drives those routes more than I do.

I checked on the Doodle results and Friday is looking like the big ski day (which is good, ‘cause it’s the only one that really works for me). Question: if we go up that day – esp. to one of the farther resorts – what time is safe for me to try to book a flight back to Seattle that night? Or is it too far and I should really try to fly back Sat. morning?

Re: [higgins-dev] Important Higgins Face to Face info
I didn't add the resorts in Big Cottonwood Canyon (Solitude) because I figured there were enough of the closer ones. I can add it if you want.

Anyone up for Ulta or Solitude ?

I always rent on Park's Sportsman in Orem when I'm going up Provo canyon (that could be Sundance, Park City, and others) because it's cheaper and on the way back to Utah Valley. However, personally, I'd like to go somewhere other than Sundance because that's where we usually go so Park City works for me but I'm good with pretty much anywhere as long as the day is right.

Subject [higgins- dev] Important Higgins Face to Face info
I wanted to get started on one of the more important aspects of the next face to face meetings, that is a ski day (or two, or three)
I'm not sure when people plan to fly in, nor if they plan to stay in SLC around the weekend(s).
Anyway, I made a poll at http://www.doodle.ch/vmwkdbedcypcrci3
I listed a lot of potential days, though last we talked about it, people seemed interested in Monday and maybe Friday. For each day, I listed the resorts left to right in order of proximity to Novell.
Resort descriptions are at http://www.skiutah.com/resorts/ and you can see some example prices at http://www.skinsee.com/lift- tickets.htm. They don't list a Sundance price because that's in Provo canyon. Those are: Window Prices Discount Price Weekday $35 $33 Weekend $45 $44
FWIW, I usually go to Sundance because of its proximity, and we've had lots of snow this year, so that aspect doesn't make me want to drive the extra distance. It is a smaller resort however.
Anyway, check the resort(s) on the day(s) you prefer to go and we'll see what turns out to be popular.
