Why is Snowbird’s Snow So Light?
When ranking powder snow, SKIING magazine puts Little Cottonwood Canyon’s two resorts at the top of the list. And they’re not alone. The secret is in the lake and mountains. Lake Effect precipitation from the nearby Great Salt Lake is dropped in Little Cottonwood Canyon when the storm systems climb above the box canyon. The light snow, thanks to the lake’s salinity, falls en masse (500 inches per year) upon Alta and Snowbird creating some of the best powder skiing and snowboarding in the world.
