Partners In Promoting Utah Powder
Solitude Mountain Resort comments:
We picked up a small skiff of snow from yesterday’s system but today will be the calm before the storm. We might catch a few flakes during the day as we prepare for the main event on Wednesday and Thursday. The models are still spread out, calling for 8 to 20 inches of white, fluffy goodness. Fingers crossed for deep powder. Today, enjoy fluttering flakes and fast groomers under cloudy skies. Expect a high of 30 degrees with moderate winds. Please check your speed and be aware of other skiers and riders, especially at breakovers and trail merges. It’s Tie Dye Tuesday at The Thirsty Squirrel, so drop in to buy a $20 white logo shirt at The Thirsty Squirrel and get the materials and instructions to tie dye your own unique Squirrel shirt. Have a terrific Tuesday!
