Skiing on Easter? How about Memorial Day? Oh, what the heck, why not on the Fourth of July?
Several Utah ski and snowboard resorts recently passed the 500-inch milestone for snowfall during the 2010-11 season, and a continued wet pattern could push the level past 600 (that’s 50 feet of snow).
A series of storms hitting the state during the next three days could add another couple of feet at favorable locations like Alta Ski Area in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Alta boasts a state-leading 527 inches so far this season and will easily pass its annual average of 540.
The deep snow has already persuaded Canyons resort to extend its planned closing date by a week to April 17.
Project closing dates:
Canyons - April 17
Park City Mountain Resort - April 10
Deer Valley - April 10
Snowbird - Memorial Day (perhaps just weekend in May)
