Prices Plummet as Snow Totals Climb at Utah Ski Resorts
Salt Lake City, Utah - A streak of winter storms has pummeled Utah ski and snowboard resorts creating epic conditions for President’s Day snowriders. In addition to healthy helpings of The Greatest Snow on Earth, Utah resorts are offering exceptional discounts on spring skiing starting now throughout the remaining season. Recent “airfare wars” have lowered many fares in/out of Salt Lake City International Airport, less than an hour drive from 11 Utah ski resorts. There has never been a better time to take a ski trip to Utah than now.
“It appears as the snow totals rise in Utah, vacation prices fall,” commented Ski Utah President Nathan Rafferty. “Incredible airfares, resorts deals and prime snow conditions are the perfect ingredients to a satisfying spring break which won’t break the bank.”
This week’s winter storm has brought more than 50 inches of snow in the last five days bringing Utah’s year-to-date snow total as high as 359 inches. The current average base depth of ski resorts in Utah’s Wasatch Range is estimated at 90 inches, more than twice the average base depth in neighboring states. Weather forecasts are calling for more snow throughout the holiday weekend.
A skier vacationing from New York City in 2008 would have paid $450 for a round-trip flight to Salt Lake City International Airport the first weekend in March. In 2009, that same traveler could snag a round-trip non-stop fare as low as $260.* In addition to discounted airfare from markets around the country, many resorts are practically giving lodging, lift tickets and other amenities away with the following deals:
