Spring 2026 in Utah Cottonwood Canyons

[MarzNC]

My ski buddy still at Alta considered staying a few extra days, but decided to head home on Sunday, April 19, as planned.

Snowpine is open year round. GMD has opted to stay open until Alta lifts close on April 26. The other three lodges in the town of Alta will be closed after April 19.

I've skied LCC the last five days. Sunday was not so great and quite firm. Monday was surprisingly fun with 4" dust on crust. Tuesday was quite fun in early spring type conditions, starts firm, gets soft later. Wed similar, afternoon especially good and soft. Today rather firm, but partial sun made some good moments. Tonight expecting 3 or 4 inches, tomorrow probably dust on crust situation again. And colder. Hoping for lots of dust It's spring so things are up and down. Actually, the best thing at this time is mild sunny spring skiing or surprise dump of some significance. In between is what's not so good

8 inches reported at the bird!

Short line for Collins at 9am this morning.

Took a little while for the High T and Backside to open. My ski buddy is having a good time. More grooming on the Collins side than after the last storm that only dropped 4 inches. Key factor for today is that it's staying much colder all day long.

It was very good this morning..blower pow on a very firm base..low angle was best as you hit bottom on anything steep. Then the sun came out and it got heavy.
Catherines and backside were good for a bit.
