2012-2013 Utah Winter Video

Ski season may be over, but that doesn't mean that Powderhound Matt and the Park City Powder Posse still aren't thinking about skiing powder everyday. Check out last season's best moments.

Deepest days of the Year in Park City!

Ski season is almost over in Park City, doesn't mean Mother Nature is done throwing Monster snowstorms at us! Find out what PCMR looks like after 18" of The Greatest Snow on Earth!

Skiing and April...Mother Nature is not done yet!

At this time of the year, most people hang up their skis and grab their bikes. Not so fast, 18" just fell at the Park City resorts and an active pattern continues.

Park City gets 15'' in 15 hours!

Tuesday was the best day I've had at Park City Mountain Resort this season.

Just for Women! Lessons learned from a female instructor at Deer Valley!

Women ski differently than men. We ski for the enjoyment, not for the competition (most of us) and we're just built a little different. After a 5 week women's clinic taught by a female instructor, I became a better skier. At Deer Valley, not only good skiing, but of course, good food and great conditions.

It's about the pants. . .snowboarding lessons at Brighton!

Lessons pay off. Plain and simple, don't try to teach your kids to ski or snowboard...too stressful on them and you. We've had a little snowboarding break, but we're back to boarding and Brighton and learning...it's about the pants.

Super Deep at Park City Mountain Resort

Super deep snow at Park City Mountain Resort! Check out the video from today.

Jodi's favorite things: December deals and Kids skiing free!

With fresh snow on the ground and the holidays around the corner, it's a great time to think of a ski vacation. The great thing is, many resorts run great family deals this time of the year and if you have young kids, chances are...they ski FREE!

Alta Opening Weekend 2012

Alta Ski Area opens with a bang this year. Tons of terrain and tons of powder to plunder! You need to be here!

Opening day at Brighton

In the next 2 weeks, most of the Utah Resorts will start their chairs for the opening of the season. With one of the best openings in years, we headed to Brighton which was the first resort to open. After all, Brennan has been wearing his boardy boots for most of the summer already; time to get them snowy!

First significant storm moving in!

Meteorology is a science and predicting the weather is a bit of an art. Looking to the northwest for our storms in Utah is what we do. Friday through the weekend looks like a great storm to set the stage for the resorts!

First turns of the season at Brighton!

The first big winter storm hit Utah this week dumping as much as 42" of snow at Powder Mountain! For Brennan, he woke up and said "Yes, I can get on my snowboard"!

Alta Lodge brunch and here comes the snow!

Alta Lodge is one of those lodges with the old school feel. Brunch is very popular through the summer and winter gears up for yummy dinners and great skiing. As we speak...the first winter storm is on the doorstep.

On snow 60 months in a row!

60 consecutive months of snowboarding in the state of Utah. . . a feat accomplished by Park City resident Kevin Rapf. He say's he has accomplished his goal but I say we take this 5 year achievement and up the ante. Let's give Kevin the motivation he needs to take it to 10 years!

Winter Weather Glimpse

After a hot summer, the weather is turning cold quickly. The burning question is what does winter hold? High pressure has held strong, but the pattern is breaking down ... a good sign.

Winter's knocking on the Door!

First snow of the season falls in Utah. Can you guess where I spent my morning...

Skiing and boarding in one day to end the season and season ticket deals!

With another late season storm, Brennan hits Brighton one more time to ski and snowboard in one day. And, tries his hand at the terrain park. But, is it recommended? And Park City has awesome deals for next years season!

The pattern changes for Utah this week=BIG SNOW!

It's no secret Mother Nature has been a little off this winter...until now. Going from High Pressure to Zonal flow in a few days spells BIG snow for Utah. Days and days of snow...

Let's Make It Snow

Give us your best snow rituals as we all wish for Powder!

Alta 11-5-11 & Weekly Conditions Report

Gunsight at Alta was in our sights all morning long so we just had to ski it! This blog also kicks off my own personal snow and weekly conditions report.

Predict this year's upcoming snow totals, but first, snows' infinite analogies.

To Those Who Ski

Alta kids...last ski day takes us to Alta!

I am an Alta skier. I moved to Utah 14 years ago and fell in love with Alta way back when. The scenery, the ambiance, the skiers mountain. This year we've been to a lot of resorts. Done fabulous lessons from Park City to Brighton. Only one ski day at Alta, so we needed to hustle up for one more day. I wanted to get both kids to mid-mountain for lunch at Alfs and get a few runs in together. It was the first time I had both Emily and Brennan up together for runs at Alta. You see, when I've been doing these runs solo for 14 years, it was pretty special to get the kids up with me. Emily and I had a Mom/Daughter day last year at Alta. This day was Mom/Daughter/Son day. So fun!

Extend your Utah ski vacation and head to Moab!

Utah is an unbelievable state in that you can go from an 11,000' mountains in the north to red rock country in the south. Utah has the most National Parks in one state of any other state in the union. Within a 3-4 hour drive of Salt Lake City, you can be in the most amazing red rock country and the best mountain biking in the country. March is also a great weather month in Utah. On average, it is the second snowist month. Skiing is awesome, with huge bases at the resorts and it's not too cold. It is also a month where the valleys start to warm up, the days get longer and southern Utah is pushing 70 degrees. So, after you've done your ski vacation, take 3 extra days and drive down to southern Utah. You won't be disappointed and you'll be planning a quick return!

So, with that said, we did our Saturday skiing at Park City. Emily continues to do great in her Saturday Adventure program! Also, Brennan is up and running on the green runs like a champ. More on this in the next blog.

Brenny and Mom ski The Bird and talking Utah weather

I'm going to cover 2 different topics. A quick synopsis of my background: I am a Meteorologist. I have been in the broadcast industry for nearly 20 years (OK, I'm aging myself) and until recently, worked full time as the main Meteorologist for the Fox affiliate here in Salt Lake. I know do freelance weather for the local NBC affiliate in SLC. I'm telling you this because I'd like to give you a little info on SLC weather and a little mountain Meteorology and why Utah really has "The Greatest Snow on Earth".

Second topic will be one of the best ski days I've ever had! A powder day at Snowbird with a 3 year old staying on the Chickadee lift and watching him have such a great time! A mother/son day of skiing and lunch...doesn't get any better or make me more proud!

Faceshots for Everyone! Pow Video

February 8th was another classic Utah Powder Day with over a foot of new snow piling up at many Utah resorts.

The first ski day of the season...take it EASY on the little guys and FREE skiing under 6!

The snow has arrived in full force and we're looking at a pretty great start to the season and hopefully a good snow year thanks to La Nina. That is a discussion for another blog.

So, we've rented the skis and we're ready to head out. Now, I'm not as mobile as my other fellow bloggers. With my equipment, Emily's, Brennan's and 2 kids in tow....it takes us awhile. The key is to pick a day when everyone is rested and happy....otherwise, you'll be very crabby by the end of the day :)

I thought I'd take Emily first alone. Just to get her "ski legs". What's that? Well, for those of you who have skied before, it is the first day of the season to take it easy and sort of "remember" how to ski. After our very successful season last year with Emily, I thought, no biggie...she's ready to go straight up the lift. NOOOO! Last run of last year was down the tram at Snowbird. For those that haven't skiied much, it is a challenging run for us adults let alone the kids.

Alta Talks Early Season Snow

Alta's Connie Marshall discusses early season snowfall and their projected Nov. 19th opening.

A little bit of weather and a whole lot of little kids!

I'll do a little intro for those that didn't follow my blog last year. My name is Jodi Saeland and I am a Mom first and foremost and a Meteorologist second. A year and a half ago I decided to leave my Broadcasting job for the stay at home Mom job. Wow! Big shout out to all the Moms out there! Hardest, yet most rewarding job there is. I have recently started back to work on a minimal basis as a broadcast Meteorologist once again. So, I will be sharing my weather knowledge of this winter with you all.

The other part of my blog will be the trials of teaching, or continuing to teach, my kids to ski.

Utah Resorts Treated with 44 Inches of Halloween Snow

A major winter storm hit Utah early this week treating Utah’s ski and snowboard resorts to early snowfall. Alta Ski Area reported 4 inches of snowfall yesterday with 20 additional inches overnight adding up to a 44-inch storm total since Sunday.
