Winter is taking it's sweet time, and we're all anxiously awaiting the 'lake effect' storms Salt Lake is known for. Deer Valley tends to get less snow than the other (Cottonwood) resorts, with only 300 annual inches of snow. The upside is that, as long as it's cold enough to make snow, Deer Valley's snow making ability is absurd. I'm told they are fully equipped to blow enough snow to cover every major run, all winter long. They haven't had the opportunity to cover everything yet, though... so those thinking of visiting, wait 'till Jan.
Today we did get a bit of snow, with a short whiteout period where we were happy to be bombarded by tons of big fat flakes. It was nice to get back to my car at the end of the day and see that the parking lot, which was bare pavement when I got there, was blanketed by a bit of white.
A bit of white in the parking lot, but a decent amount on the mountain

Ah hell, I might as well tell you... the "lake effect" snow is a myth. Utah's snow quality and quantity have nothing to do with the great salt lake. I am actually being serious.

Hey, your writing defies your less than serious presentation of yourself....you're kinda smart it would seem!
