Atricle: Utah’s Epic Ride

Utah’s Epic Ride - New York Times

It sells like this:
A daylong guided trip, the Interconnect Tour follows a circuitous route of in-bounds ski trails and steep backcountry runs. Chairlift rides are combined with out-of-bounds traverses, or skiing across slopes, to connect the resorts that sprawl through this part of the Wasatch Range. In a single day, Interconnect skiers travel about 25 miles through the mountains, carving more than 15,000 vertical feet of turns on the slopes and adjacent backcountry at Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort, Brighton Resort, Solitude Mountain Resort, Alta Ski Area and Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.

Stick that on the list of things to do when it comes to ski travel. Hard to do without a guide or without some serious time to dedicate to mapping it out your self.
