While the ski and snowboard season seems off to a slow start, some Utah resorts are approaching 300 inches of snowfall on the last weekend of January.

As usual, ski areas in Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood canyons have the most snow so far in 2023-24. And they’re among the snowiest in the country in what has been a down year, especially compared to the record snowfall last winter.

A storm system that moved through Utah on Thursday dropped a few inches in the northern mountains, though Brian Head near Cedar City has picked up 21 inches in the past three days.

Meteorologist Chris Tomer with OnTheSnow.com is forecasting a dry pattern until at least the first week of February or after, when moderate to heavy snow is expected to arrive.
