Here's When Utah Ski Resorts Expect to Open for Winter 2026/27

Fall is in the air, pumpkin spice is probably in your coffee or muffin, and ski season is right around the corner.

Given the lackluster start to ski season in 2025, which caused many opening-day delays, many ski areas are understandably still waiting to announce their opening dates. However, a few Utah resorts have marked days on the calendar in hopes that Ullr will cooperate.

Here are the Utah resorts that have announced their opening dates for the 2026/27 ski season. All dates are conditions permitting. POWDER will update this list as more opening days are announced.
