Following a warm Thanksgiving, a more familiar scene for this time of year is being enjoyed skiers and snowboarders at Utah’s resorts. Mother Nature dumped over two feet of light, dry powder during the past two days, enabling ski areas to open additional terrain throughout this week. The National Weather Service is calling for another chance of snow Friday. Very cold temperatures are expected to remain in place for several days, allowing resorts to continue snowmaking operations.
The following Utah resorts are now open for the 2006-07 season: Alta Ski Area, Brian Head Resort, Brighton Resort, The Canyons Resort, Park City Mountain Resort, Powder Mountain (night skiing only; day skiing tbd), Snowbasin, Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, Solitude Mountain Resort, Wolf Mountain.
Deer Valley Resort will open on Dec. 2 and Sundance Resort on Dec. 8. Beaver Mountain’s opening date is to be determined.
