ALTA, Utah — Alta Ski Area ended its ski season with a historic total snowfall of 903″ at Sunday’s closing day.

Normally, the resort boasts approximately 500″ per season.

The base snow depth was 197″ from the nine inches that fell in the final 24 hours.

This was their 85th season and it remains one of only a couple of ski-only resorts in the United States.

Alta, which often stays open later in wetter seasons, had set a hard-closing date before the beginning of this year.

Alta. Alta.

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
