National Weather Service said:
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL POUR INTO UTAH FROM THE WEST BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT. WIDESPREAD VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOWS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY. SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Is winter finally going to hit the Wasatch? Don't get me wrong, the fall weather has been insanely enjoyable, but I'm ready for some mountain snow!

me too! I certainly hope this means that winter is starting -- but I just hope nothing major happens in the valley when I am moving my furniture!

I'm secretly hoping that because you're moving, the snow will come. Weather always happens when you least want it! MOVE! MOVE!

I'm enjoying it, but the Northeast has us beat - Killington is already open!

I'm half an hour south of Killington, and it's almost 60° here today. Not good. Utah is waaaaaay ahead of us here in VT.

I heard the Canyons is also opening on Friday.

Solitude opens Nov 14 and Brighton opens Nov 15. Snowbird will open this weekend.

2008-11-05 — Snowbird Announces 2nd Earliest Opening Ever

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SNOWBIRD, UTAH – Continuing the tradition of offering the longest ski season in Utah, Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort will open Friday, Nov. 7. This year’s opening marks the second earliest start to a season in the resort’s 38-year history.

“This storm and the subsequent lake effect have provided a timely blanket of snow in Little Cottonwood Canyon,” said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. “Skiing early season powder is a great way to kick off the season.”

Snowbird will be offering the Aerial Tram and two lifts, Gadzoom and Mid-Gad, to skiers and riders beginning Friday at 9 a.m. Expected open terrain includes Regulator Johnson from the top of Hidden Peak, as well as Big Emma and Bassackwards. Additional lifts and terrain will open as conditions permit. The Snowbird Center and Creekside Lodge will be offering multiple food, merchandise and equipment rental options throughout the weekend.

More than 3 feet of snow has fallen in November, and cold temperatures have allowed snow guns to operate, adding to the already impressive early season snow totals. Last year, Snowbird received 611 inches of The Greatest Snow on Earth® and had a 183-day season with skiing and riding from Nov. 30 to June 22.

Snowbird is offering an early season ticket price of $62 and chair passes will be honored to access the Tram until additional terrain opens. Early season lodging packages are currently available starting at $99/night through much of December.
