"A moisture-rich system arrives Wednesday night and lasts into early Friday, with the Cottonwoods picking up the best totals while relatively high snow levels keep snow quality on the dense side at lower elevations. Snow levels run high during the heart of the event, generally around 8,500-9,500 feet at times, so bases near and below that line can see wetter snow or periods of mix while upper-mountain terrain stays mostly snow."
"Wednesday Night-Thursday Warm Push brings increasing precipitation and a higher rain-snow line, which is the main limiter for lower bases. In the Wasatch, Alta and Snowbird sit well for snowfall because much of their skiable terrain resides above the warmest snow levels, while Brighton and Solitude also do well once rates increase. Park City and Deer Valley can still add snow, but the combination of mild temperatures and snow levels near or above their base elevations points to heavier, moisture-laden snow at the bottom."
A moisture-rich system arrives Wednesday night and persists into early Friday, with the steadiest precipitation Thursday and Thursday night. Snow levels remain relatively high, generally around 8,500–9,500 feet during the peak, producing denser, wetter snow at lower elevations while upper-mountain terrain stays mostly snow. The Cottonwoods—especially Alta and Snowbird—are expected to receive the highest totals (9–13 inches), with many other Wasatch resorts seeing 7–10 inches. Temperatures hover near freezing. Snow-to-liquid ratios commonly range 8–11:1 initially, rising to 10–12:1 during Thursday night cooling. Southwest to west winds gust 20–35 mph, affecting exposed ridgelines and lifts.
