After around 14 inches during the day, Powder Mountain, Utah, received an additional three inches of snow overnight, bringing the 24-hour total to nearly two feet since Thursday night, March 6. The storm delivered much-needed fresh coverage following a week of spring conditions, with consistently low temperatures preserving the quality of the snowfall. A deep layer of powder now covers most of the hardpack left by recent melt-freeze cycles, offering soft conditions across the mountain.
For today, Friday, March 7, cloud coverage is expected to persist throughout the day, with a 50% chance of snow before 11:00 a.m. However, the likelihood of additional accumulation decreases as the day progresses. Forecasts predict a high of 22°F with light north-northwest breezes, ensuring that the fresh snow remains in excellent condition.
Located in northern Utah, Powder Mountain is known for its expansive terrain and uncrowded slopes. With more than 8,00 acres of skiable terrain—the most of any resort in North America—Powder Mountain offers a mix of groomed runs, tree skiing, and vast backcountry-style areas. The resort limits daily ticket sales to preserve its reputation for fresh tracks and an authentic ski experience.
