"All snow at the ski areas falls with temperatures mostly in the teens and 20s Fahrenheit, starting as light powder then trending a bit denser during the peak of the storm before cooling again late in the event, while snow levels climb high enough that lower valleys see more rain.

"Thursday night through Saturday features a significant winter storm across the northern and central Utah mountains with a long window of steady snowfall and strong west to northwest winds. Moisture increases Thursday night as a strong jet noses into the region, producing cold, powdery snow initially with snow levels near 4,000 feet and snow to liquid ratios in the mid teens at the higher resorts."
A strong multi-day winter storm will bring widespread early-season snowfall to northern and central Utah mountains from Thursday night through the weekend, followed by a lighter wave Sunday night into Monday and a shift to warmer, drier weather next week. Snowfall will be heaviest in the northern Wasatch and Cottonwood resorts, with Alta and Snowbird expected to collect the deepest totals and closed resorts building a solid base. Temperatures at ski areas will generally be in the teens and 20s Fahrenheit, producing initially light powder that briefly trends denser as the storm warms aloft. Snow levels will rise into the 5,000–6,000 foot range, allowing rain in lower valleys. Strong west to northwest ridge winds will produce gusts over 50 mph in exposed areas, creating wind-affected surfaces, drifting, and deeper lee deposits at Brighton and Solitude.
