"The main story is rapid warming through the middle and latter part of the week, with the upper Cottonwoods rising into the 50s and Park City side resorts touching 60 on the warmest afternoons. Expect a daily freeze-thaw rhythm, firmer starts, soft corn and slush by late morning and afternoon, and only a low-end chance of minor showers sometime next week."
"Models are tightly converged from Monday through Sunday, March 16-22, on a quick shutoff of lingering post-frontal moisture followed by dominant ridge-driven warmth and mostly dry skies. Any leftover Monday morning flakes are limited to a trace on the highest northern slopes, and they look dense rather than dry, with snow ratios roughly in the 8-12 range where snow is still falling."
"Temperatures climb fast after Monday, with Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, and Solitude reaching the 50s by Wednesday through Saturday, while Park City and Deer Valley push to about 60. That points to firm early surfaces, fast softening once the sun gets to work, and a steadily wetter lower-mountain feel each afternoon."
Utah ski resorts are entering a springlike weather pattern with minimal new snow expected. Monday morning may see trace amounts on highest northern slopes, but conditions quickly transition to warm, dry weather. Temperatures will rise significantly through the week, with upper Cottonwood resorts reaching the 50s and Park City area touching 60 degrees on warmest afternoons. Daily freeze-thaw cycles will create firm morning conditions that soften to corn and slush by late morning and afternoon. Wind gusts of 35-45 mph are expected early week but will ease by midweek. Models show strong convergence through March 22, with dominant ridge-driven warmth and mostly dry skies. A possible weak disturbance may bring spotty light precipitation to northern mountains, but meaningful new snow is unlikely.
