Ski Conditions

The current (4-day) storm total at The Canyons is a mere 45″ of heavenly Utah powder. There is a reason this is called “The Greatest Snow on Earth.”

Northern Utah resorts have all received an additional 1- 3 feet of snow in the past 72 hours, on top of a whole series of storms providing endless fresh powder. Here is a sample snow report from Park City Mountain Resort:

New Snow Last 48 Hours: 13″
New Snow Last 72 Hours: 26″
Base Depth : 87″
Year to Date Snow Total : 210″

Have you ever wondered who is high up on those peaks and ridges launching the avalanche control “bombs” that we hear echoing on snowy mornings in ski country? Here is a memorable video of ski patrollers at PC Mtn. Resort setting off slides on New Year’s Day. Oh, and they do get to ski some incredible first tracks now and then….

OK, let’s admit that not every day is like this here….. but lately it sure seems like it. Here is Mindy R. floating through the powder below Condor Ridge at The Canyons.

Our buddy Sean over at PC Mtn. Resort was enjoying a little time away from the office recently…. we hope his boss doesn’t know how “tough” his job is because, well, it seems downright criminal to get paid for this kind of life…..
