Why has Utah the greatest snow on earth ?

Well, it's more than a commercial slogan, it's a cold, white, technical fact. Utah has the best snow on earth, and any of you over this great nation and that wonderful planet, who still doubt it, please listen up !

Most winters, Utah averages 250 days of winter, 40 snowfalls, and 18 monster “dumps” that give us that magic, fluffy snow, but most importantly this how how this stuff of legend gets created. Storms develop over the Pacific Ocean and hit the Sierra and Cascade Mountains. When the storm hits these coastal mountain ranges, moisture density is generally quite high and and the snow is dubbed “Sierra Cement.”

Then, as they cross the huge Nevada desert, clouds dry out and continue their voyage towards Utah where the average snow density is just 8.5 percent. As it crosses the Great Salt Lake, the clouds get colder and dryer as they're ready to hit the mountains. This causes the snowfall to be fluffier, light and magical.

Overall, our snow water content always stands between 4 and 14 percent, eliminating all icy formation and making it, you now know it, “the Greatest Snow on Earth!”
