Utah’s Alta Ski Area pioneered the use of artillery on avalanches, but after 75 years, modern computerized devices are taking over.

It’s uniquely hard to predict Utah’s weather patterns because of where it’s located, but the hive is in the midst of a wet cycle.

After years of sailboats being hoisted out of the shrinking Great Salt Lake amid fears they might not return, sailors are back this summer. That's thanks to an abnormally wet winter that has raised the lake 6 feet from last November's historic low.

Though the color-tinted snow poses little risk to humans or animals who may consume it, scientists caution it may accelerate snowmelt, challenging reservoirs and leading to glaciers shrinking long-term.

Rather than a “heavy-handed approach” of writing tickets, the Utah Sheriff's Office wants people to understand the dangers that exist as avalanche snow is still melting in Provo Canyon.

A snowy winter and rainy spring have provided a major boost to states in the grips of drought and helped ease pressure on water managers in the Colorado River basin.

New research shows that the long-term trend of warmer winters and less snow has made Utah’s streamflow more sporadic. And researchers say Utahns should prepare for it to keep getting worse.

Salinity is an indicator of the Great Salt Lake’s health. During the historic low last year, salt levels were so high lake life was at risk.

On top of overtime for plow drivers, already a scarce commodity, Utah cities had to pony up for equipment repair and for road salts.

Reducing the amount of lawn around the home and opting for water-wise plants can help Utah keep the strides it made dealing with the drought, says a BYU grass expert.

Between road closures and interlodge orders, there’s a bigger impact than not just being able to ski at Alta or Snowbird.

Deep snow has hit northern deer populations hard, but that same moisture has led southern herds to flourish.
