P.S. Be nice to find something ski-in/ski-out, or near a lift. thanks to all replies in advance.
I'd think twice if I were you...

I live in Park City and the snow totals are abysmal. I've lived there for 13 years and there is less snow at Christmas than any year I can remember.

Here's a link:
Utah Ski & Snow Report | ksl.com

The Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon areas typically get in the neighborhood of 500" a year. (Not a mis-print). Park City Mountain Resort, Canyons and Deer Valley average 350-400".

I personally recommend skiing in Park City during the Sundance film festival. Lodging will be tough in Park City as the hotels fill up with moviegoers. The plus side is everyone is watching movies and the slopes are empty.
