SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Cooler temperatures in April, along with a few good storms, have left northern Utah's snowpack at or above normal in most places.
Last spring, record warm weather robbed the mountains of much of their snowpack. This spring, temperatures 15 degrees below normal have kept the snow in the mountains, which is good news for skiers and those wanting full reservoirs and snow melt drawn out over the coming months.
Officials at Alta Ski Resort said this winter was its third snowiest in 28 years, thanks to 14 inches that fell overnight Wednesday.
Snow levels in the southern portion are still lagging behind the region's long-term average.
