Our experience:
We have usually driven out to SLC every year over the holidays or late winter when the slopes are still open. Have relatives there. We usually take five days to get there, in our leisurely fashion. A couple of times we have had to wait out a storm.
Stay in an RV park in the valley. Drive our Jeep Liberty to Alta or Snowbird. Can be putting on skies usually within 45 minutes to an hour. Have never seen a MH in either parking lot for good reason.
I usually fill up on Diesel before getting to SLC. I fill water tank as needed. On previous MH I put colored lights in tank areas for heat, but current one doesn't need it.
