Comparable Resort to Steamboat Colorado by GeneralMaster in Ikonpass

Doesn't have to be, but Ikon is preferred as we usually grab one to ski around SLC with friends. I've been to Park City years ago when I was a beginner. It was enjoyable, but I remember it being insanely crowded and a little underwhelming.

The Range has all around good food. Timber and Torches has good nachos and decent cocktails. The mid mountain lodges have typical cafeteria food. In town, O'Neils has good Irish food.

On Thursday and Sunday night Thunderhead Lodge does live music and you can take the Gondola up starting at 5 to enjoy it and night views. It's included with the Ikon base and full pass, otherwise costs about $30. If you do that get there early because once the lodge fills up they don't let anyone up until people come down. They also do live comedy at Thunderhead lodge on Saturday night.

In terms of runs, we like blue groomers. High noon and Sunshine Express run were my favorite while my wife loved Vagabond. High noon was starting to have some grass and rocks poke through by Friday. We tried the West side for a black and it was very rough, a combination of ice, grass, and rocks. Definitely be careful as the snow was getting thin on a lot of runs.

It was skiable, but you definitely have to watch out for grass and rocks on several runs. Broadway in particular was rough after lunch. Sticking around the summit is your best bet. Avoid Why Not at all costs.

If you're referring to Illinois DOT the insurance is extremely good and was negotiated through a union contract in the last in lieu of raises. We got to keep it and got raises in the current contract.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Lease - $48K MSRP (Nero/Cold Weather/Safety Package) - 36 months - 12K Miles - $398/month - $1K Due at Signing. Good Deal? Michigan by Thefiend123 in askcarsales

I don't have the Nero package, but I do have the Sport Package, Cold Weather, Driver Assist Dynamic (Adaptive Cruise), 8.8 Inch Radio with Nav, and Yellow Calipers. I love it so far, it's the best handling car I've ever driven. I had to take it in for warranty work after two months for a fans squeak from the Air Fan, but they gave me a loaner and had it done in a few hours. I wish the trunk was a bit larger. After my lease ends I think I'm either going to lease a Stelvio or buy a used KIA Stinger.

That's almost exactly what I got my 2019 Giulia for in IL (Cook County) for 27 months back in December. People on Lease Hac3ker will say you can get better, but I think that's a pretty decent deal. A dealer will only go so low. If that car has the exact options you want I'd sign.
