"The winter stoke in Utah will have to remain patient as Park City Mountain, one of Utah's most famous ski resorts, postponed its Opening Day due to a lack of early-season snowfall. The resort, which was originally scheduled to begin its season on November 21, has not yet announced a new opening date as it waits for natural snowfall and ideal conditions for snowmaking."
"Temperatures have been uncharacteristically high in the Beehive State throughout November, leaving many resorts without natural snow or reliable snowmaking conditions. While temperatures at times have dipped below the ideal 28ºF for snowmaking, the warmer temperatures have prevented resorts like Park City Mountain from creating a solid base to build upon. Utah's winter situation stands in contrast with the East Coast, where colder temperatures have already brought substantial snowfall."
Park City Mountain postponed its Opening Day originally set for November 21 because of a lack of early-season snowfall and unsuitable conditions for snowmaking. The resort has not announced a revised opening date and is awaiting natural snow and better snowmaking conditions. Other Utah areas, including Deer Valley and Solitude, also delayed openings. Uncharacteristically warm November temperatures in Utah have prevented building a solid snow base despite occasional dips below the ideal 28ºF for snowmaking. The East Coast saw colder weather and substantial snowfall, allowing some resorts there to open as scheduled. Forecasts predict continued warm temperatures and rain, limiting overnight snowmaking windows and complicating terrain preparation.
