You should set up base camp in Salt Lake, and if it's good while you're there, you'll be an hour or less to multiple resorts with some of the greatest snow on earth. (I think that's their tagline, right?) If SLC is not so great conditions-wise, you're only a day's drive or a quick flight from Tahoe, Jackson, Sun Valley, Montana, Colorado, or elsewhere...

Set up camp in Frisco, Dillon, or Silverthorne Colorado. You are in the middle of a bunch of ski areas with 15 minutes to an hour or two. Or, how about doing a week in the Sierras, a week in Utah, and a week in Colorado? With a little advance planning you can take Amtrak between all of these places. (For Summit County you'd have to get off at Grand Junction and take Greyhound to Vail or Frisco). From Frisco (summit county area) you can take Colorado Mountain Express to the Denver Airport (about $60 per person). Or, do the whole thing in reverse

Good Luck, wish it was me.

I agree with Utah. It's the best with the most epic ski options. The drive to Jackson or Aspen is quick if you want to move. Stay away from Summit County... too many people. Europe is too expensive and snow is questionable. Have fun.
