After a month of warm temperatures and very little snow, temperatures have dropped enough for snow machines at Snowbasin and Nordic Valley to start blasting out the white stuff during overnight hours. But as of 11/28/2021, there are no significant storms in the forecast.
Scheduled openings at Snowbasin and Nordic Valley have been postponed indefinitely, while Powder Mountain, which relies solely on natural snow, hasn’t announced an opening date. Stay tuned for the latest on when you can pile your skis and boards into your vehicle.
Other ski resorts in Utah have not fared much better. Solitude and Brighton, usually the first to open, have finally started spinning lifts, with limited terrain available. Alta also opened. Other resorts are waiting – on storms or cold enough temperatures for consistent snowmaking.
