Four Feet of New Snow at Utah Resorts Additional Accumulation in the Forecast

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (January 23, 2012) - Four feet of Utah’s famous Greatest Snow on Earth® fell at the state’s ski and snowboard resorts January 18-22, 2012.  The new snow has enabled resorts to open additional terrain both on and off-piste. Eager powderhounds enjoyed a perfect weekend for skiing and snowboarding featuring deep powder snow and bluebird skies.

Additional snowstorms are in the forecast for the coming days at Utah resorts.
