Steady snow is expected throughout the week, giving President’s Day visitors something to celebrate next weekend. The storm eclipsed the forecasted 3 inches for the weekend. The National Weather Service predicts up to 4 more inches by Friday.

Up to three inches of new snow are expected in Park City by Tuesday night, with chances of more snowfall strong before President’s Day weekend, according to the National Weather Service forecast. The expected snow adds to both recent storms and continued snowmaking efforts by each of Park City’s three world-class ski resorts, which have opened 92% of Park City’s total terrain.  

In a year marked by blue-bird skies and spring skiing conditions, additional snow is icing on the cake for skiers who like fast, fun groomers and al fresco dining. Aggressive skiers will find all seven bowls open at Deer Valley, as well as Park City Mountain Resort’s Jupiter Peak and Canyons’ 9990 mountain.
