Alta Conditions Report – 11″ Teaser with More to Come

There’s no denying that it has been dry in Alta for much of January and February, but winter has finally returned! Last Friday into Saturday we received 3 inches followed by a surprise 11 inches! This storm skied great for the weekend. The crowds were a bit bad in the mornings but settled by the afternoons.

Following the storm we had a few more days of sun a warm. All of the locals got out and enjoyed the stable backcountry conditions, putting more tracks on some of the favorite roadside attractions than I have ever seen.

While last weekends storm was a great teaser, we are all hoping it was just that and the coming week, and hopefully weeks will bring much more snow!

Just today (Thursday) we received 3 inches of light, rightsideup snow, that skied very well. It is still snowing this evening as I write too!! We are all physched to see some white fluffy stuff falling from the sky again!!

SNOW REPORT:

24 hour snowfall: 3”
7 day snowfall: 16″
base: 73″
season snowfall: 221″

WEATHER:

Winter is back baby!! I could talk about a bunch of details for the upcoming week and probably be wrong on all my predictions. So instead I will just say, we are entering a snowy pattern. It should snow some amount many of the next 7 days!! While nothing looks like a mega storm each impulse should give us some much needed snow! Lets hope we don’t see the sun for a while!!
