OGDEN VALLEY AREA SNOW REPORT AND HAPPENINGS!

The Snow's been falling and the skiing is fantastic. A local skier reported skiing in waist deep champagne powder at Snowbasin today. They received 26" of snow over the last 2 days, and all trails and lifts are open. Powder Mountain received a total of 13" over the last 48 hours, and Wolf Mountain got 20".

On February 3rd, the Australian Women's Aerial Ski Team will be at Snowbasin to meet the public and sign autographs from 1pm till 4pm. The Flying Kangaroos, as they're more commonly known, include World Champions and Olympic medalists, and they've made Snowbasin their North American home.

Powder Mountain is holding their Night Jam series once a month. Night Jam is a park jam held under the lights at the Sundown terrain park. It begins at 5pm and all skiers and boarders are welcome to participate.  Registration is free with a valid lift pass, and prizes are awarded at the end of the jam. The next Night Jam will be held on February 6th.

The Ogden Nordic Center at North Fork Park reported receiving 17" of snow. Their next scheduled event, on February 16th, is the Coldwater Crucible, a 10k cross-country race using classic or skate technique. There's also a ski clinic that day for beginner or intermediate classic or skate skiers. The next Moonlight Glide takes place February 22nd, and includes skiing, food and bonfires.
