Overnight 1-4 inches of snow fell favoring the Park City ridgeline because winds and moisture are coming from the southeast. Temperatures are mostly in the mid teens F. Usually east winds are a bad thing but they are very light this morning only gusting up to 15 mph at 11,000 feet.
Today another 4-7 inches of snow could fall. Winds will remain light and temperatures should warm into the low to mid 20s F. Spring weather can be quite exciting and brief periods of heavy snowfall with a chance of lightning could occur this afternoon.
Total snow amounts are 3-5 inches yesterday, plus 1-4 inches this morning, and another 4-7 inches possible today. Yesterday many people described the new snow as "dust on crust" because there were just a few inches of new snow on top of the old, crusty, refrozen snow surface. Sunshine yesterday made the snow damp on east, south, and west aspects which should be refrozen this morning with a few more inches on top of it. Riding conditions are slowly improving.
Yesterday there were just a few very small, loose avalanches in the new snow. They were dry in the morning and wet in the afternoon.
