121" base at Snowbasin, with 18" dropped by last storm!

Snowbasin continues to lead the Ski Utah resorts with its current base over 10 feet--even besting Alta by a few inches! The storm that passed through on Monday and Tuesday this week dropped another 18" of Utah's finest snow, for a season total of 339". The sun is out, spring is in the air, conditions are beautiful, and the slopes are uncrowded.

There is still space available at lodging properties in the valley between Snowbasin and Powder Mountain, as well as on-mountain at Powder Mountain where we still have limited inventory available. Go to www.Utah Resort Reservations.com online or call (888)-748-UTAH for further information.

PHENOMENAL SNOW--34" storm total!

This was the sight that greeted me on awakening yesterday morning.....more accumulation on my deck railing than I've seen in the four winters I've been lucky enough to spend in the upper Ogden Valley--easily a foot of snow!

Driving up to Snowbasin, I passed the no longer readable stop sign and marveled at the winter wonderland while cautiously negotiating the slippery roads.

It snowed 18" during the day on Tuesday, for a storm total of 34" in 48 hours and a current base of 137".....amazing snowfall! Knowing the mountain certainly has its advantages when the terrain becomes difficult to see due to reduced visibility, and even the trail maps are no longer readable due to the snowbanks obscuring them!

An Amazing Powder Week

After five powder days in a row, I'm finally taking the day off to give the knees a rest and get caught up on everything that didn't get done while I was out showing out-of-town guests the lay of the land. Of course they appreciated the fact that the sun came out part of the time, allowing them to enjoy the scenery. The picture above was taken off of Hidden Lake Lift at Powder Mountain, last Tuesday--a perfect time to head to the trees!

The picture on the right was taken from the Strawberry Gondola, at Snowbasin, after we'd already had a couple of runs....you can see that there was no crowd from the one lonely line below the gondola.

They have a saying in Hawaii....."Lucky you live Hawaii". Well, I think the local version has to be "Lucky you 'board/ski Utah", where we enjoy Utah's trademarked "Greatest Snow on Earth"!

The season is just about half over, so don't waste a minute--call Utah Resort Reservations at (888)-748-UTAH to arrange your lodging for your Snowbasin/Powder Mountain vacation!

Down and out and missed out on the Pow!

The fact that I came down with the second cold in a month curtailed my snowboarding action for a few days.....you can see from the picture above, taken last Tuesday while down in Ogden, that we got a real dump. The pictures below were taken the day before, here in the Valley. Though
it may not be very clear in the photo, the picture on the right is that of a deer, taking refuge on someone's front porch in Green Hills.

Sorry there are no pix of the great day I had up at Powder Mountain yesterday...the whole top half of the mountain was in a cloud, but the 5" of fresh snow was heavenly and, having been there enough times, I can read that mountain in Braille.
