Alta Ski Area, Utah, is in the middle of a storm cycle that’s deposited several feet of snow so far.
To document the storm cycle’s impact, Alta deployed photojournalist Chloe Jimenez. Her assignment? Show the people just how deep it’s gotten.
Unsurprisingly, Jimenez delivered.

It’s a cliche, I know, but in this case, it’s true: a picture—or a few of them—is worth a thousand words. You can stare at forecasts and snowfall totals all day, but without a visual reference, those numbers don’t mean too much.
Jimenez’s photos convey the message more succinctly. Alta got dumped on, and more is on the way.
Alta’s forecast calls for additional snowfall this week, with totals likely reaching above the one-foot mark by Saturday.
February and March have treated the Utah ski area well after a slow start to the season. Both produced frequent snowfall and powder days, with this February being Alta’s third snowiest on record.
This week, Alta surpassed a significant milestone, officially hitting its seasonal average snowfall mark of 546 inches. While that might sound like no big deal, it’s important to remember that the resort wasn’t exactly raking in snow until 2024 rolled around. A lot of ground has been covered since the start of February.
And, as previously noted, it appears even more ground will get covered this week, if you know what I mean.
