Champagne for the New Year!
by Mike Fine
This article about Snowbird references "Champagne Powder" which is perfect for the new year! If you are not aware, the term usually refers to light and airy snow that comes after exceptionally cold temperatures. However, in Utah, this rule does not apply. You see, our powder is like Champagne year round as our high desert climate combines with the Great Salt Lake and makes for the best snow to celebrate the new year.
Snowbird and Alta are especially blessed when it comes to this kind of snow. They get the most in Utah and have some of the best places to experience it. So, ring in 2010 with some of our special Champagne.
