Alta Snow History

Up To 1m (40") Of Snowfall in 48 Hours in SW Europe

Ski areas in The Pyrenees and the Southwestern Alps are celebrating after a big snowfall has brought deep cover to the region. Whilst large parts of the alps have not had any snow for three weeks and some not since November, this is the second successive week that a front has brought fresh snow to the continent's southwest corner, this time heavier than last. With snow still falling, ski areas in the Pyrenees have reported up to 60cm (two feet) of snow so far and those in the southern French A

Ron B from United States writes:
Alta has the best snow in North America, bar none. There are a few areas that get more on average (e.g. Kirkwood, Mount Baker) but none that has the combination of quantity, quality, and consistency; the latter is key. Alta always seems to get good early season snow, and snowfall continues into May (sometimes June). Hence, you can book a trip from Thankgiving onward with complete confidence. Unlike the 'feast or famine' West Coast, snowfall happens frequently, so you're almost certain to get a couple of powder days if you stay for a week. The high elevation and dry alpine air also ensure superb snow quality. Alta's terrain is not quite as extensive or varied as some destination resorts, but Snowbird is right next door. The combination of the two is close to unbeatable. The only gripe: nightlife in Little Cottonwood Canyon is pretty dead. Even good restaurants are hard to find. However, if you are a serious skier, you are not going to care. You'll be too tired for nightlife. Leave that to the snow bunnies who book in Park City.
