The
state of Utah enjoys four distinct seasons:
Spring in the valley is generally mild and green, while the
Wasatch Mountains are still
covered in snow.
Spring
Seasonal Average* - (March, April,
May)Average daytime highs of 62 degrees and
average evening lows of 38 degrees.

Summer
Seasonal Average* - (June, July,
August)
Average daytime highs of 88 degrees and average evening lows of

as the cooler temperatures turn the leaves all shades of gold,
purple, red, green, and brown.
Fall
Seasonal Average* - (September, October,
November)Average daytime highs of 65 degrees and average evening
lows of 40 degrees.
When the snow falls, Salt Lake becomes a skiers paradise. Visitors
come from around the world to ski world class resorts and some
of the greatest powder on earth! An average 535 inches of light,
dry powder snow falls on the Wasatch Range located just 35 minutes
from downtown. By contrast, the valley receives approximately
59 inches of snow during the season.
Winter
Seasonal Average* - (December,
January, February)Average daytime highs of 40 degrees and average
evening lows of 22 degrees.

Mountain
areas may be as much as 20 degrees cooler.
Annual precipitation varies from less than five inches in
Utah's arid Great Salt Lake Desert to more than 60 inches in
the northern mountain ranges. In Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and
Weber counties, precipitation averages 6 inches per year . Because
of the state's inland location, Utah's snow is unusually dry,
earning it the reputation of being the world's greatest powder.
At some Wasatch Mountain ski resorts the season-long snow total
will be 40 to 50 feet!
