Davy Ratchford worked at resorts in Colorado and California before coming to Utah and starting a job at Snowbasin this year. He couldn’t have more perfectly timed the move.
The ski resort, tucked into the mountains east of Ogden, is on track for a near-record season with almost 400 inches of powder. And more is still expected It’s been so good, in fact, that as the new general manager, Ratchford has decided to keep the slopes open for an extra week.
Ski resorts around the state have shared in the spoils, too, with some getting double and others nearly triple the powder compared to last year — one of the worst for snow in state history.
