It’s on in the state of Utah and everywhere from Alta to Brighton is getting its first real taste of the world’s best snow for the 2016-2017 ski season.
Powder Alert: NORTHERN UTAH – SOUTHERN MONTANA – WYOMING
So far, Little Cottonwood Canyon appears to be receiving the lion’s share of snow but look for the system to slowly make its way across the Wasatch and Uinta mountains later today.
LET IT SNOW!
