I and a few other Divas will be skiing Alta in the next couple weeks. May wander over to Snowbird a bit too when Mineral Basin is open.
I tend to pay attention to Alta with OpenSnow all season since it's my favorite resort out west. Of course late season conditions can vary quite a bit. I know an NC family who are in SLC this week and they are having fun with spring skiing. By this weekend, winter will be back.
Closing day for Alta for 7-day operations is April 21. Snowbird and Solitude will be open longer. Per usual, Brighton won't announce a closing date until later.
OpenSnow forecast for Alta on April 3, 2024
For those who haven't skied in Utah, some terminology:
LCC - Little Cottonwood Canyon, Alta at the end of the road, Snowbird a mile closer to SLC
BCC - Big Cottonwood Canyon, Brighton at the end of the road, Solitude a couple miles closer to SLC
UTA- Utah Transit Authority for ski bus that runs to LCC and BCC
UTA TRAX - light rail around SLC, has stop at airport
Parley's Canyon - where Park City and Deer Valley are located
Ogden Valley - where Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, and Nordic Valley are located, about 1.5 hrs north of the SLC airport
UTDOT has several Twitter accounts related to the LCC/BCC canyons roads as well as the general UTDOT traffic map. There are links for traffic and weather on the resort websites. Definitely pays to check one way or another before driving up in the morning or heading down in the afternoon.
