East’s lack of snow may work in Utah’s favor at NCAA Skiing Championships

More than 600 inches of snow has fallen at two of Utah’s 15 resorts this winter. Most, if not all, have seen at least 200 inches. Whiteface, meanwhile, has gotten 133 inches of snow this season, according to its website.

Vermont’s director of skiing, Bill Reichelt, said in the 21 years he’s been involved, the event has never been relocated to another region.Still, the scarcity of snow created frustrating snags for some teams.
