At Shuttle Park City, we’re here to bring that insight right to you, combining Powderchasers’ expert forecast alerts with what it means for Park City, Utah and the surrounding Wasatch Range.

What Are Powderchasers Alerts?

Before we dive into the current setup, let’s clear up the buzzwords many snow lovers are searching for this season:

• Powder Alert – Storms forecast to deliver 12–18″ of new snow. Ideal for great ski days.

• Epic Alert – A stronger system expected to drop 18–24″ or more. Ski resorts and advanced riders rejoice.

• Snorkel Alert – The big one: 24″+ of high-quality snow falling in a storm cycle. These alerts usually indicate a truly massive snowfall event across multiple days.

  
  

These powder alerts help travelers, locals, and ski planners know when to hit the slopes, especially at high-demand resorts like Park City Mountain and the Cottonwoods. If you’ve ever chased a deep powder day, you know these alerts are worth following.

West Coast & Rockies Storm Pattern: What’s Brewing

According to the Powderchasers forecast from Feb 14, 2026, multiple storm systems will affect the western U.S., including:

Snowfall is expected across the Rockies, including the Wasatch and surrounding peaks. The forecast shows 20–35″ in the Wasatch Range over the next storm cycle, with snow continuing into midweek. Winds and storm timing will be important — sometimes heavy wind and deep snow can close terrain temporarily, so timing your Park City ski days around peak conditions matters.

What This Means for Park City Skiing

If the forecast holds true…

❄️ Expect Big Snow Totals

Models show deep snow continuing through the week for Utah’s mountains, including Park City. Moderate to strong snowfall, especially above 8,000′, will enhance powder conditions across the area.

🚠 Better Powder Lingers Lower

Snow levels may start a bit high during early storms, but colder air moving in later the week should lower snow levels — meaning park base and mid-mountain runs may also see accumulation.

🕐 Timing Is Key

While the heaviest snow is likely mid-week, winds associated with big storms can affect lift operations and exposure. Riders who time their Park City ski sessions around peak snowfall windows will score the deepest lines.
