Mid-Summer Update
Updated 3 weeks ago Evan Thayer
As is always the case, it has been hot and dry for most of Utah so far this summer. While we wait out the hottest period of the summer, we take our first look at winter.

Final Forecast for 2021-2022
Updated 3 months ago Alan Smith
It has been an interesting winter across most of North America with snowy periods interspersed with long dry spells, but April has been colder and snowier than usual for just about all regions. An active pattern will continue across the Northwest & Northern Rockies through the end of the month with snow & rain showers. We also take a look at current snowpack levels and the winter as a whole.

Final Post - 21/22 Recap, Highlights, & State of the...
Updated 3 months ago Powderchaser Steve
It's always sad to sign off for the season. This season was full of upside and downside swings, large events followed by drought periods. Chasing Powder was essential to staying in the deep and that even included a last-minute trip to Austria. There is some snow in the forecast!
