Deer Valley Ends Season Sunday as Utah’s Warm, Low-Snow Winter Forces Early Closures

A late March storm could drop up to a foot at higher Wasatch peaks.

Overview

  • Deer Valley will shut Sunday, March 29, and is honoring all pass types for a final appreciation weekend with a complimentary lunch for season pass holders.
  • Beaver Mountain will close this week after overnight lows stayed well above freezing and the snow base broke down.
  • Snowbasin has already closed following a weekend that hit the 80s in northern Utah, accelerating melt on lower-elevation terrain.
  • OnTheSnow forecasts 6 to 12 inches for the Wasatch in late March and early April, with the biggest totals likely at Solitude, Brighton, Alta and Snowbird.
  • Deer Valley’s chief said Utah recorded its lowest snowfall on record this winter, and persistent warmth limited snowmaking and left few options to keep terrain open.
