犹他州瓦萨奇山区迎来雪季首场风雪 雪鸟一夜降雪6英寸
2026年11月1日，犹他州盐湖县的瓦萨奇山区迎来2026至2027雪季第一场像样的风雪，正在为11月陆续到来的开板季打下基础。截至11月1日上午，滑雪犹他州公布的报告显示，雪鸟滑雪场一夜降雪6英寸，约15厘米，但雪桩显示接近10英寸，约25厘米；阿尔塔4英寸，约10厘米；索利蒂德3英寸，约8厘米。
预报员埃文·泰尔在滑雪犹他州每日预报中指出，本轮降雪主力在11月1日，海拔约8000英尺以上为降雪，以下则为持续降雨。风暴前的预测显示，雪鸟可达21英寸，阿尔塔20英寸，布赖顿14英寸，帕克城山与鹿谷约7英寸，比弗山约5英寸，南部布赖恩黑德则高达22英寸。11月2日的预报是，阿尔塔与雪鸟先是雨夹雪，随后转为全雪，若成真，大小棉白杨峡谷的雪量将远高于目前报告数字。
已公布的开板日期均为视天气而定：布赖恩黑德11月6日，帕克城山、阿尔塔与索利蒂德11月20日，雪鸟与雪盆11月27日，即感恩节次日。报道同时提醒，季初雪层仍薄且不可靠，岩石、树桩与溪床就在雪面之下，出发前应查看犹他雪崩中心每日预报。
First Real Storm of the Season Hits Utah's Wasatch; Snowbird Reports 6 Inches Overnight
On November 1, the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake County, Utah, received the first substantial storm of the 2026–27 snow season, laying a base for the opening days arriving through November. As of the morning of November 1, Ski Utah's published report showed Snowbird with 6 inches of new snow overnight, about 15 centimeters, with the snow stake reading close to 10 inches, about 25 centimeters; Alta reported 4 inches, about 10 centimeters, and Solitude 3 inches, about 8 centimeters.
Forecaster Evan Thayer, in Ski Utah's daily forecast, noted that the main thrust of this round of snow fell on November 1, with snow above roughly 8,000 feet and continuing rain below. Pre-storm forecasts had Snowbird reaching as much as 21 inches, Alta 20, Brighton 14, Park City Mountain and Deer Valley about 7, Beaver Mountain about 5, and Brian Head in the south as much as 22 inches. The November 2 forecast called for Alta and Snowbird to start with a rain-snow mix before turning to all snow; if that verifies, totals in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons will end up far above the numbers reported so far.
Announced opening dates, all weather permitting: Brian Head on November 6; Park City Mountain, Alta and Solitude on November 20; and Snowbird and Snowbasin on November 27, the day after Thanksgiving. Reports also cautioned that early-season snowpack remains thin and unreliable, with rocks, stumps and streambeds just under the surface, and that anyone heading out should check the Utah Avalanche Center's daily forecast first.
