Vibe Check: The canyon air feels cold, stormy, and charged this morning—classic Wasatch energy where the best turns are slashed and surfed, not carved.
If you’re choosing between Alta and Solitude for first chair, here’s the quick read on 24-hour snowfall and wind right now.
Alta Snow Report (Today)
- 24-hour snowfall: 3 inches
- Wind: WSW around 14–18 mph, gusting into the 30s
- Snow quality: Soft with active storm input, but more wind impact on exposed terrain
Solitude Snow Report (Today)
- 24-hour snowfall: 4 inches
- Wind: generally lighter, around 10–16 mph
- Snow quality: Loose and playful with better early shelter on some laps
Best Lift to Hit First
Eagle Express at Solitude is the best first-lift call this morning. With slightly lighter wind and a quick path into protected terrain, it’s the better setup for surfy, soft-snow laps before things get tracked.
Alta still looks excellent if you want to chase storm skiing, but plan for stronger gusts and more wind effect in open zones.
Tomorrow’s one-line forecast: Another storm-favored Wasatch morning is likely, with fresh overnight snow and continued soft, playful turns early.
