Alta, Utah – The latest winter storm has pushed Alta’s season-to-date snowfall past the 300-inch mark, delivering another round of legendary powder skiing. With the settled snow depth now exceeding 100 inches, skiers and snowboarders from across the country are making their way to the Wasatch to experience the deep snow and pristine conditions.
This most recent storm cycle brought multiple feet of fresh powder, reinforcing Alta’s reputation as a powder paradise.

With more snow in the forecast, this season is shaping up to be one for the books. The historic snowfall levels are a reminder of why Alta remains a must-visit destination for powder lovers.
As winter continues to deliver, skiers should be mindful of avalanche conditions in the backcountry and check for updated weather and safety reports before venturing out. For those staying inbounds, Alta’s terrain promises more incredible powder days ahead.
Stay tuned—this season’s snowfall tally is far from final, and the best days of winter may still be ahead.
