Utah Snow Report

We can't predict the weather, but we can tell you Utah's 15 ski resorts average upward of 500 inches of snow a year, including a record 903 inches at Alta Ski Area during the 2022-23 ski season. Compared to other ski destinations in the United States, you already have a much better chance of satisfying your snow cravings by choosing Utah.

Snow conditions vary by resort, season and day. Ski conditions even change hour-to-hour when a storm rolls in. It can be sunny in Park City when it’s snowing at Snowbird and windy at Snowbasin when it’s calm at Powder Mountain. Snow depths can vary from Brighton to Solitude, and storms hit differently in Northern Utah than at Southern Utah resorts. Prep for any ski trip by bookmarking the resort links below and downloading a favorite weather app.

Timing Your Ski Trip

When to Resort Ski

December to April is prime ski time, with the month of March typically achieving the highest snowfall average at 100 inches (watch the video).

Download the Ski Utah Snow Report app to keep tabs on resort opening and closing dates, ski bus routes, and, most importantly, daily snow totals and weather forecasting by OpenSnow. True diehards can also sign up for Powder Alerts from their favorite resorts.

Best Time to Ski and Snowboard

When to Backcountry Ski

Looking to ski or snowboard in Utah's backcountry? Those with the proper equipment and avalanche skills can enjoy it best. And the Utah Avalanche Center is your resource for where and when to ski. For those without equipment or avalanche skills, you can take advantage of local guiding operations.

Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding

Mountain Reports, Road Conditions and Live Webcams

Check daily. Check often. Monitor snowfall and road conditions, practice safe snow driving and ensure tires have proper tread and pressure (or better yet, ride the UTA Ski Bus). Resort roads may close — oftentimes at a moment's notice — due to unsafe driving conditions, natural avalanches or avalanche mitigation efforts.

Traffic and Road Conditions

Utah’s canyons serve as gateways to a high-elevation wonderland, offering panoramic, breathtaking views of Utah’s magnificent peaks for the entire journey. Still, these canyon roads can become dangerous in winter conditions and require extra care and attention. 

Many of Utah’s canyon roads, such as Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon, legally require four-wheel drive and snow tires for entry during the winter months. Closures for avalanche mitigation or dangerous road conditions are also common.
