It's Snowing!

Don't count this season as over yet. This evening it began snowing and it's been coming down off and on for the last 6 hours. As of midnight, the main low pressure had yet to pass overhead. When it does, the weather forecasters are all saying that the storm will setup with a classic Utah lake effect pattern. While notoriously difficult to forecast, these are the storms that sometimes end up walloping the Wasatch mountains. Forecasts are calling from anywhere between 6 inches and 2 feet of new power over the next two days. Regardless of the final storm total, this is the perfect way to freshen up the turns and close out the season. Later in the week it looks like the sun will come out and we'll have some classic Utah bluebird days to enjoy the new snow. Hope to see you all on the slopes!

I am trying to see if a quick 6 day ski trip to Park City is a good idea for myself, 7 year old daughter and husband (who has skied Tahoe, Aspen, Taos,Snowmass) for the April 8-14. It's a week since your last posted blog. Do we come now or do we save our vacation time and cash and come closer Christmas holiday. I know at Christmas it will be more crowded and cost more but how are the conditions now? Please be brutally honest because we only take one ski vacation a year. Should it be now? Thanks! Michele

Eric replies, see our post from yeseterday, http://parkcity.typepad.com/park_city_mountain_resort/2007/04/last_week_of_th.html to see what we're planning to have open for next week. It will be spring skiing and riding conditions and I would certainly expect that we will have significantly more terrain available for skiing and riding next Holiday season.

I'm coming to PC over Spring break (April 7-14). How well are the conditions going to be? are they guareenteed to be open?

We are sticking with our scheduled closing date of April 15, and it's certainly spring skiing and riding conditions. We'll possibly be closing some lifts after this weekend, I'll be sure to put up a post to let you know what the plans are once I hear.
