The Storm Has Arrived In Utah; Resorts See First Dump

Yesterday morning, Snowbird Alerts issued a report that NOAA is forecasting 7-11 inches throughout the day.

With the traction law in place, the X/tweet also wrote, "if you're planning on driving up the canyon today be prepared for a snowy commute." See below.

Although the storm slightly underperformed (Snowbird saw 6 inches in the last 24 hours) the conditions were still greatly improved, and pow turns were on tap.

Solitude received 8 inches over the last 2 days, and Alta received 8 inches in the last 24 hours.

NOAA's Cottonwood Canyons forecast shows that the active period will continue, with periods of light snow through Saturday night.

This will be near a northward moving warm front, with snow ratios trending towards 10:1 with time. Another, stronger system will cross the area Saturday night into Sunday morning, continuing into Monday morning.

All in all, another 8 to 16 inches of snow is possible with this storm for Utah resorts.

OpenSnow echoes this sentiment. 29 inches are possible in the next 5 days for Alta, and 13 more inches in the following 10 days after that.

It is a never ending supply of Champagne Powder.

We've seen Miracle March, what are we calling April (because it seems like it's going to be pretty incredible, too).
