Share During the 4-day hiatus Snowbird took from daily operations, more than another foot of snow fell. Spring skiing with those slush “hero” bumps and soft, slick, granular snow is still a ways off. Any bare or thin spots that were beginning to pop through last weekend were covered up by the recent snowfall. On [...]
Share The spring ski season in Utah has been fantastic! So far since April 1st 20+ feet of snow fell and about 7+ feet in May with enough additional snow predicted that it could turn into a 600′ inch season for Snowbird. Most Utah ski resorts let all this snow go to waste and kept [...]
Share Like all great things, even a ski season must come to an end at some point. In the East, most resorts seem to simply pick a day and shut down, end of story. Many of the Western resorts do the same thing, even when 20 feet of snow falls around the planned closing date! [...]
Share Most people don’t expect to be skiing on Mother’s Day, particularly those of us from the East Coast. Snowbird and Mother Nature had other ideas this year and cooperated to provide mostly clear skies, soft spring snow, edge to edge coverage and minimal crowds at Snowbird Ski Resort. The drive up the canyon was [...]
Share Today at Snowbird Ski Resort was more or less a continuation of yesterday! Nice warm temperatures, softer snow, great snow cover and excellent spring skiing characterized the day today. The Snowbird tram, Little Cloud Lift and Mineral Basin Express were all open today and virtually all terrain serviced by these lift was open for [...]
Share After the eastern-like (cold, icy, wind-blown) conditions at Snowbird Ski Resort yesterday following the deep freeze, the sun, blue-bird skies, wispy cloud cover and warmer temperatures returned to the mountain! We needed snow or sun and we got sun! The sights were stunning, the snow was excellent on groomed terrain and much more manageable [...]
Share Winter once again returned to Snowbird Ski Resort today! Freezing temperatures (around 20 degrees at Hidden Peak during mid-day), mostly cloudy skies, strong winds, blowing snow and a mostly rock solid icy surface made up the conditions of the day. Following a number of sunny or partly sunny days and warmer temperatures, it got [...]
Share The drive up the canyon road to Snowbird Entry 4 was another pleasant one today. The skies were mostly clear, the roads were clear and the sights were phenomenal as usual. Snow still coated most everything except the road there there were big piles along the road and scattered throughout the parking lot from [...]
Share Today was a beautiful day at Snowbird Ski Resort! The day started out cloudy, overcast, windy and cold. The warm temperatures after the epic snowfall during the previous 5-6 days, created a “stale icing” type snow condition anywhere the mountain was not groomed. There was a light crust on top of anywhere up to [...]
Share With only 5 more days to go until Snowbird switches to a weekend only schedule for May, the sun from yesterday has vanished, the temps have turned significantly cooler and there will likely be highly variable snow conditions. The remaining open lifts will include the Snowbird Tram, Little Cloud and the Mineral Basin Express. [...]
