The sad part is Snowbird is tracked within an hour after any snowfall. First tram up on a powder day at snowbird deserves all 5 stars but after that, it's a legitimate 1 star experience.
EDIT: unless you spent the night in the canyon and an avalanche takes out the access road :)
If you're a spoiled local like me, and only 3 feet of powder, only in the chutes where everyone goes, if that's the only thing worth considering, then I can understand your statement there. But even though I'm spoiled, I've never had anything close to a 1 star experience at Snowbird even on the groomers. I've skied there in 30-below when the snow actually stops working, and I still wouldn't call it 1 star. 1 star is what you get on the east coast and in California, when you compare it to Utah. We don't even have 1 star anywhere in Utah. Anyway, hit more Mineral Basin, I can usually find powder there days after any snowfall. Or find a friend with the early bird pass, Tram opens at 7am for a few "lucky" people.
And this is why I'm into ski touring these days. Crowds are minimal to non-existent.
Is there any resort where this is not the case?
Good snow probably makes snowbird amazing, limited or tracked snow sucks there more than other places imo.
