Utah Deep Powder Fest, in May?

Published by at 7:06 am under Skiing

This year the saying came true, “April showers brings May powders”.

I’m still grinning. I’m still buzzed from the last three days of amazing skiing in the mountains. A big “thanks” goes out to Ullr, the Norse god of winter, that swept through the Wasatch in a big, big way. For four straight days, He dropped the temperatures a solid 20 degrees, buried the sun behind a thick shield of clouds, and poured light, fluffy powder on us. There was little to no wind. There were little to no instabilities. He brought us deep powder, worthy of fables, and rivaling that of even the coldest, shortest days of winter. He brought us the winter storm we dream about all summer long, in May.
