First Snow-filled Forecast For Alta & Snowbird, Utah

Canada has gotten it, Montana has gotten it, Wyoming has gotten it and heck Colorado got it a month ago and even Tahoe is about to get it. Now the greatest mountain range with the greatest snow is about to get it. THAT’S RIGHT! The Wasatch is about to get its first snow of the year and it appears to be significant enough that it may be measurable! Currently on the 7-Day NOAA Forecast there are 5 out of the next 7 days forecasts that use the magical word “SNOW”. It’s obvious that this snow will NOT stick around […]
