Where to ski during the Sundance film festival?

Dave asked:

I found a good deal on airfare to Salt Lake City, so I randomly picked a weekend to go.

Unfortunately, not only did I pick a weekend in the middle of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, I also picked a holiday weekend (MLK day).

So, my question is, where would be a good place to ski this weekend to avoid the crowds? I figure Park City, Canyons and Deer Valley will all be slammed. Does that mean the rest of the resorts near the city will be relatively light? Or will everywhere be pretty much packed?

    Sundance is a mixed bag. On one hand, the hotels will be packed with filmmakers and celebrities and not people coming into town for skiing. On the other hand, the celebrities and filmmakers still want to ski. Unless you ski the black diamond runs, you will most likely find the Park City-area slopes busy during the middle of the day. Also, Park City [downtown] will be extremely crowded, so if you go there, make reservations for restaurants and take the free shuttles and not your car.

    The other resorts in the SLC area should be average attendance. Yes, it’s a holiday weekend, but that also means that a lot of the locals will be leaving town and not going skiing. Expect Saturday and Monday to be busier than Sunday. Afternoons are always lighter; some resorts offer free skiing after 3.
