Another major storm has left more than three feet of snow blanketing Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort since Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013.

“In about 50 years, I’m going to be telling my grandkids about this storm,” said Jodie Stackhouse, a guest who was snowboarding Tuesday morning. “I could really use a snorkel out there!”

The Little Cottonwood Canyon resort has received 222 inches of snow this season, and more snow is in the forecast through Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.

“Skiers and snowboarders are thrilled to have such amazing conditions,” said Dave Fields, Vice President of Resort Operations. “The snow is waist-deep, but blows over your head when you are skiing down the mountain.”

Located just 29 miles from Salt Lake International Airport, Snowbird is North America’s most accessible resort destination.
