The skiing so far during 2009 has been fantastic.  We’ve had 3 good storms and this past weekend we received another 8-12″ of snow. 

Coverage at the resorts, particularly the Cottonwood Resorts of Alta, Snowbird, Solitde and Brighton is solid with nearly every run open and all lifts open.  Locals are saying it’s “mid-winter” coverage and skiing 100% of the mountain is possible at each resort.

Here is a picture from Alta from yesterday’s storm – just another bluebird powder day here in Utah.

With the Sundance Film Festival starting up next week the lodging and especially Park City will be packed but the slopes will be wide open.

Utah Vacation Homes still has Sundance Film Festival lodging availability. It could be the best of both worlds – lots happening in town with mid-season coverage on the mountains but nobody to ski it.
