The 2010-2011 season was an epic year in Utah. Resorts up and down the Wasatch Mountains experienced record snowfall and Snowbird was no exception, with 783 inches – that’s 100 inches more than they’ve ever had before! All that snow meant Snowbird’s slopes were open on the 4th of July for only the third time in their history. People were skiing and boarding in shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits (and costumes), while also enjoying Snowbird’s great summer activities, like the bungy trampoline and the alpine slide.
The 4th was the closing day of Snowbird’s longest ski season – 202 days.
