Spring has arrived, but you would hardly know with all of the snow that continues to fall here in the Wasatch Back and elsewhere in Northern Utah. WHAT A WINTER WE ARE HAVING! It has literally been one for the record books this year, with several resorts setting all-time records, some in excess of 700 inches of snowfall! With more storms on the way, it is possible that some resorts may surpass the 800-inch mark before the end of the season, so don't put away your powder skis just yet! Many of our resorts have extended their seasons so that we can enjoy the season's bountiful snowpack for a little longer than usual this year. See below for more info on those adjusted closing dates.
In addition to the extended season on the slopes, there are many ways to get out and enjoy springtime fun in Park City and the Wasatch Back. Hope you enjoy the following list of events, and look forward to seeing you around town or out on the slopes.
