Unmatched accessibility, deep powder, exciting terrain, a pedestrian
slopeside village and first-class services combine to make Snowbird an
unparalleled Utah destination. Snowbird averages approximately 500
inches of low-density, "dry" Utah powder annually, Alta 700 inches thanks to
ideal geography and a phenomenon called “Lake Effect”. Little
Cottonwood Canyon is known worldwide for reliable powder snow
conditions.
