Utah has snow!

Many of Utah's ski resorts are scrambling to open early after a series of major storms buried the slopes with more than five feet of powder — with more falling.

Brighton has lead the way and opened today, November 6. Many other resorts will follow quickly:

Utah resorts opening dates Brighton November 6 Powder Mountain mid-November Alta November 20 Solitude November 21 Park City November 22 Snowbird November 22 Brian Head November 22 Snowbasin November 23 The Canyons November 28 Deer Valley December 6 Sundance and Beaver Mountain will open as conditions permit, probably in early or mid December.

Meteorologists say we're in a "favorable precipitation pattern" and can expect more snow ever day or so through the forecast period.

Early indicators suggests this will be one of the best — and busiest — ski seasons every in Utah. Resort phones have been ringing off the hook since the snow began. Many lodging facilities near the resorts are already booked solid for the Christmas holiday season.

Our resorts, which drew rave reviews from the international press during the 2002 Olympic Games, have continued to expand and improve and are in great shape going into this season.
