    Alta Joins Snowbird & Brighton as the First Resorts to Open

    By Jason Mitchell on November 13, 2008 News, Skiing

    Alta Ski Area joins fellow Little Cottonwood Canyon resort, Snowbird, and Brighton as the first Utah ski resorts to open for the season. With 67-inches of total snowfall to date and a settled mid-mountain base of 29-inches, Alta is ready to make it happen.

    The resort will feature limited terrain off the Collins, Sunnyside and Sugarloaf lifts starting Saturday, November 15 as a weekend-only opening. The resort will open for the season (daily operation) on Friday, November 21 with more terrain and lifts opening based on conditions.

    Looks like Turkey Day skiing will be a reality for Little Cottonwood… we’ll see how the rest of the resorts fare between now and Thanksgiving.

    A native of the Pacific Northwest, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. That passion is channeled into every article or gear review he writes. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground.

      there is supposed to be dry spell in the West over the next few days, so we’ll all be watching closely to see how the resorts fare leading up to Thanksgiving. There is a great resource for tracking snow conditions at the resorts: OnTheSnow.com. Check out the Utah page here: http://www.onthesnow.com/utah/skireport.html

      Brighton is already open, sneaking into second place ahead of Alta.

      I should have checked on Brighton. They are sneaky little buggers! I’m sure Solitude has the white ribbon of death all ready to go soon too.
