They're calling it a hyperactive jet stream!

After a day or two of partly cloudy skies, earlier in the week, we're back on the storm path--last night's weather report was using the term "hyperactive jet stream" to describe the storm pattern bringing moisture from off the west coast and dumping snow on the Wasatch front. Whatever it may be, bring it on! Snowbasin and Powder Mountain were hit the hardest yesterday, with 10" of snow reported in the past 24 hours on this morning's Ski Utah report.

Powder Mountain opened more terrain yesterday, having opened Sundown lift for night skiing earlier this week, and will hopefully have the whole mountain open with the storms predicted to continue over the next 7-10 days.

Ever notice how difficult it is to get motivated to take off your gloves and pull a camera out of your pocket when it's blowing snow at a 45 degree angle and you're anticipating a powder run?!?

This storm pattern has got folks picking up their phones, calling Utah Resort Reservations to book their lodging for a Powder Mountain and Snowbasin ski/'boarding trip. Call (888)-748-UTAH to make your arrangements and Come Stay and Play in Utah!!!
