There's a really good variety of terrain. 144 shouldn't have a problem navigating around to a large portion of the riding areas.
We've always gone the same week every year, so can't really comment on when is best.

With having to book a fair bit of time in advance. Your gonna be hit or miss condition wise, especially only going for 2 days. We usually do 4-6 days that way we have a better chance of hitting snow or atleast blue bird or both. With long term forecasts being unreliable it's hard to plan. That being said I've gone in December, January and April and had someone awesome days.

Like life, riding is what you make of it, if it is sunny then it will be awesome, if it dumps you will do less travelling and maybe some more digging, but guaranteed, if you take her out and dig for her then she will have a blast. if you leave her in the cabin and go riding, shame on you! Have a great time! dave

Think spring for longer warmer days with a bit more forgiving snow. This is April 16 last season and it was great.

Yea, id vote March/April. Warmer temps, easier snow for a shorter track, better chance for bluebird and less chance of spending the day digging machines out... cuz we all know for some reason most wives dont find that fun... lol

I'd aim for Feb/Mar. Her 144 will be fine. There's a groomed trail to alpine on Pokey and some other areas that are easy to access as well. If it dumps they rent sleds there that you could put her on.
