About Snowbird

Snowbird shares Little Cottonwood Canyon's outrageous snowfall with neighboring Alta but takes the opposite cultural approach: snowboarders welcome, brutalist concrete lodging, and a 125-passenger tram straight up to Hidden Peak. Under the tram, the Cirque and the chutes off Peruvian Gulch are as steep as anything lift-served in Utah; Gad Valley is the mellower escape. Spring at Snowbird is legendary; the season routinely stretches deep into May.

Snowbird is a ski resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. PeakCam tracks 8 webcams here, plus snow depth from the assigned NRCS station, updated every six hours.

The measured base depth is 7 inches. Sensor history shows the snowpack has been building over the past week.

Where does Snowbird's snow data come from?
From the NRCS snow-telemetry station assigned to Snowbird. PeakCam syncs it every six hours and runs range and spike quality checks. When at least two unflagged on-mountain user reports land within 24 hours, they can move the condition rating by one tier — they never change the depth number. Sensor readings can differ from the resort's own report, which usually quotes the upper mountain.
What are the ski conditions at Snowbird today?
Standard mountain conditions expected today.
