Martha,

I used to live in Logan, Ut. about 90 miles NE of SLC.  We did a lot of
back country x-country skiing (ie. telemarks) in Logan Canyon.  Snow is
nearly as deep as near SLC and just as fine powder on the right days!!
Logan Canyon also has much less danger of avalanche.  Just take US 89
north from Logan (actually starts out heading east) to get to the general
area.  For specific spots to ski, ask at TrailHead Sports on Main St.  
If you're really into telemarks ask about the "Temple Peak" trail.  As
for lodging there are a couple BestWesterns in town, one with indoor pool
and whirlpool.  Its been a few years since I've been there so I can't
recommend too many eating establishments, but the "Factory" on Main St.
used to serve good pizza and beer.  Good luck, you'll love it.

PS - as for downhill, Alta was my favorite and the best deal for your money.
