Has the climate crisis and the higher temperatures affected snow conditions in Snowbasin?
Look at the statistics and graph of historical snow depths for the ski resort.
For the last 5 years, week 9 has been the most insecure with 236 cm snow depth on average in Snowbasin.
The measurement is made as an average of the snow depth at the highest and lowest point of the mountain.

Underrated hill, usually with very good snow. No base village, but a worthwhile day out from Park City. The crowd-free slopes cover a lot of pleasantly varied terrain. This is a great mountain for experts – the Grizzly Downhill course drops 885m and is already claimed to be a modern classic. Between the race course and the area boundary is a splendid area of off-piste wooded glades and gullies. Middle Bowl is great terrain for the adventurous, with a complex network of blues and blacks. You have to stay in the town of Ogden on the Salt Lake plain in the backwater of Huntsville. ‘Well worth the drive to visit for a day – fabulous views and exceptional lodges,’ says a 2014 visitor.
