So does everywhere else. Nothing beats Utah snow quality. They’re having a banner year too.

I got to ski out west once and it was beautiful. I’ll be out there again someday.

I grew up close enough to Snowbasin to see the lift towers from my back yard. My buddy and I used to hike up there every Saturday and ski the Strawberry side for free. They didn't check tickets over on that side because you had to ride a lift to get there. Tickets were only about $15 back then, so we would recycle cans and secretly save lunch money to occasionally buy a ticket and ski the rest of the mountain. Easily the most underrated resort out there.

Locals tip: Absolutely make sure you use the bathroom at the base lodge while you are there. Trust me on this one.
