    Credit: Park City Mountain Resort Updates: Whilst we all saw a record breaking snowfall across Utah that has sadly been backed up by rather warm temperatures and a lack of any further snowfall. Due to these warmer November conditions many of the ski resorts across Utah have had to push back their opening days. We have updated our list below. The leaves have started to turn and we are now seeing a nice dusting of snow on the upper peaks of the Wasatch front. That means winter is just a hope skip and jump away so start waxing those skis or board as the Greatest Snow On Earth will soon be falling over Utah.To add to the excitement a number of Utah ski resorts have released their planned opening dates for the 21/22 winter season.Planning on getting to Utah this season?

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.

Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
