I sort of neglected this thread for a while. Here's a recent update on BCC and LCC skiing.
A storm on March 5 and 6, 2026 over-produced (love that term) and the Cottonwood Canyons received about 2 feet of good quality snow.
Rode the UTA bus up and back to ski Brighton on Friday, 6 March. This was just after the two feet of snow fell and both BCC and LCC were super busy. In fact LCC was closed for several hours in mid-day for avalanche mitigation. The bus worked, but one-way trip took about 70 minutes vs my normal drive time of 20 minutes, due to traffic. At least I had a seat and someone else was doing the driving.
6 Mar Brighton and the Great Western lift line, real good skiing/riding this day:
Same area, nice spacing in these aspens:
Boarders love Brighton:
Excellent skiing among evergreens by the Crest sixpack, Brighton is a fine place to ski on a storm day because of the tree skiing and tree-lined runs.
Saturday 7 March, beautiful day at Snowbird with big crowds. We went off piste to get some elbow room. My son and a friend were my ski companions this day. This is upper Mach Schnell.

Not sure about the rest of Utah, but the Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts are firing on all cylinders right now. The lower Cirque at Snowbird:
