Heavy Snow in Utah as Snowbird’s Long Season Continues Through Spring
Four days of early-April snowfall brought nearly three feet (90cm) of snow to Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, pushing the resort well past the 500-inch mark and setting the stage for the resort’s many spring events still to come.
Snowbird is reporting a base of 155 inches at mid-mountain and 532 inches season-to-date for the resort that averages 500 inches a year. In the first 11 days of April, Snowbird received 40 inches (one metre) of snow at the base and significantly higher accumulations at mid-mountain.
Skiers and riders can enjoy Snowbird’s great conditions and many events with the $279 Spring Season Pass, valid now through Snowbird’s closing date on May 26th (conditions permitting). The resort offers the longest ski and snowboard season in Utah and plans to operate daily through to May 11th and then weekends (Friday-Sunday) through to closing day.
Upcoming spring events include a visit by Mission:Wolf, a non-profit captive wolf sanctuary, which brings live wolves and wolf-dog crosses to Snowbird to teach about wolf captivity. This happens next Friday, 17th April at 7pm in the Rendezvous Room on Level 2 of the Snowbird Center and admission is free.
Also on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday over weekends up to May 4th there’s live music provided by local bands including Spearit, Ghostowne and Legendary Porch Pounders on the Snowbird Center Plaza Deck weekends from noon to 5:30pm.
