SnowBrains Forecast: 1-2 Feet for Utah Through Friday Night - SnowBrains

"The first round comes in warmer and denser, then a colder second round improves snow quality and keeps turns fresh into Friday, with the highest terrain in the Wasatch favored for about 16″-25″ combined during that window. Lower bases still collect useful snow, but early in the week some lower-elevation terrain starts with wetter snow or brief mix before colder air settles in."

"During the core Monday period, snow levels are generally near 8,000 to 9,000 feet, then trend down toward 6,500 feet by Tuesday, so lower bases such as Park City and Deer Valley are more likely to see wetter snow early while upper elevations stay consistently wintry. Snow quality starts dense with SLR around 6-10, then improves to roughly 10-12 late."

"After a short Tuesday afternoon and early Wednesday lull, a colder system moves in late Wednesday through Friday with strong agreement on timing and better agreement on snow levels than snowfall intensity. Snow levels fall from around 7,000 feet toward 4,500 to 5,500 feet, supporting all-snow conditions across resort terrain during the heart of the storm."

Utah experiences two distinct snow systems this week. The first arrives Sunday through Tuesday with warmer, denser snow (SLR 6-10 initially, improving to 10-12). Higher Cottonwoods receive 7-11 inches while other areas get 2-6 inches. Snow levels start near 8,000-9,000 feet, dropping to 6,500 feet by Tuesday, causing lower elevations like Park City and Deer Valley to experience wetter snow initially. A second colder system arrives Wednesday through Friday with better snow quality and lighter density (SLR 11-16). Snow levels fall to 4,500-5,500 feet, supporting all-snow conditions across resorts. Combined, highest terrain receives 16-25 inches. Ridge-top gusts reach 20-30 mph. Confidence is high for mountain snow timing but moderate on exact precipitation rates.
