How time flies!
Mid-February is already here, which means we’ve passed the halfway mark of ski season in the Wasatch Back. After a dry spell in January, the snow returned over the past few weeks, delivering a powder-filled stretch that made for excellent conditions for our Valentine's Day and President’s Day Weekend!
There’s still plenty of winter fun ahead in Park City and the Wasatch Back, with a great mix of snowy days and sunshine in the forecast. Read on for the latest news and events around town—hope to see you soon!

SNOW RETURNS -
WITH MORE IN STORE!
After a relatively quiet January, winter made a strong comeback in northern Utah. Snowstorms rolled through this past weekend, delivering fresh powder to all the resorts in the area. By Monday morning, storm totals ranged from 20 to 45 inches!

Looking ahead, the weather remains unsettled, with snow expected to continue off and on through the end of the week.
This recent snowfall has been a welcome boost to northern Utah’s snowpack, bringing levels close to normal for this time of year. With any luck, the snow will keep coming—setting us up for fantastic spring skiing and ensuring healthy river and reservoir levels heading into summer. |

SOLAR SPRING IS HERE!
As the recent snowy weather attests, meteorological spring is still a little ways off. However, Solar Spring has arrived! Never heard of solar spring? Solar spring is the time of year where the duration of our days increases the fastest, and it officially began on February 5th. Just take a look at this sunrise/sunset table for our area. You'll see that we gain over an hour of daylight this month!

| Why is this important? One word: Après. The longer days and warmer weather mean that our local après scene will be hitting its stride during the coming weeks. See below for a few of our favorite après opportunities: |

SUNDANCE WRAP-UP
The 2025 Sundance Film Fest wrapped up at the beginning of this month, and as usual it was a very busy week in and around town.

The future of the Sundance Festival in Park City remains uncertain, as organizers continue to explore host city options for 2027 and beyond.
