Utah is known for some of the best quality snow in the world.

The stateโ€™s combination of light dry snow produces extremely desirable ski conditions.

The โ€˜Greatest Snow on Earthโ€™ is due to the low moisture content resulting from pacific storms passing over the Great Salt Lake. Of course, the elevation of many of the stateโ€™s mountains also helps with the snow quality.
