What a carefully edited piece of propaganda! you all believe this because you want to... I live here and I'm sorry but this is rubbish... Check the snowpack totals for Colorado and Utah resorts... Colorado has the driest snow... and Utah doesn't average 500' a year Alta does! maybe you should all follow the snow reports insted of clever advertising campaigns! Think for yourself people!

canyons 6,600 ft elevation base to 9,990.
snowbird base is 8,000 ft to 11,000 at top of tram. the snow at the top is better. always has been always will be.

Great post! Honestly, Utah is AMAZING when it comes to their quality and quantity of snow. We're spoiled to have such great access, mountains, snow, resorts, people, etc in our backyard!
And this last storm is just what we needed!

Utah is WAY better than Colorado! I don't have to sit in traffic for 4 hours on I-70! Utah all the way!
Mike \ 10.4 years ago
