Some Utahns and visitors spent Labor Day enjoying the sights, smells and sounds of Snowbird's Oktoberfest, while others took a ride through the clouds on the tram to see some early-season snow.
LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah — Some Utahns and visitors spent Labor Day enjoying the sights, smells and sounds of Snowbird's Oktoberfest, while others took a ride through the clouds on the Snowbird tram to see snow after seeing posts displaying the fresh powder on the resort's social media platforms.
"We saw that they posted about it, so we hopped in the car, had to come up and see it for ourselves," Brenley Hansen said."We always chase the first snow of the season and we're so happy.""We're from Jacksonville, Florida, and we were not expecting it at all," said Drew Gardiner.The September snow didn't just impress first-timers; it also impressed locals.
"So excited that it's snowing and the winter is here, even if just for a day or two," Spencer Aronstoin said. Hidden Peak at Snowbird got a nice dusting of snow, but it isn't the only place in the state that saw some powder. Bald Mountain Pass in the High Uinta Mountains had a layer of snow covering the road Monday morning.
"This isn't unusual. We'll see snow anywhere from late August to mid-September as our first official snow in high elevations," said Salt Lake City National Weather Service lead meteorologist Christine Cruse."So far it's equal chances. We're going to have to watch to see how the jet stream sets up, how high pressure sets up off the Pacific coast. Last year we were in that storm path the entire winter," Cruse said.
