The Canyons will open its gondola, Saddleback and High Meadow lifts, and the surface rope tow near the base.

Because all of the lifts and terrain will not be open, resorts will be offering discounted passes. They will also be working to open more terrain as soon as possible.

Last season was the third in a string of records for Utah. The 13 resorts recorded more than 4 million skier days. And, for the second year in a row, Utah's high-elevation resorts accounted for more than 600 inches of total snowfall. The season average at Alta and Snowbird is 500 inches.

SKI SCHOOL

The first session of the Deseret Morning News/KSL Radio Ski/Snowboard School will be at Alta and Snowbird on Saturday.

Classes will start at 9:30 a.m. Skiers will be at Alta, and snowboarders will be at Snowbird. Classes will run for two hours.

Students will need to dress for winterlike conditions, bring their ski or snowboard equipment, and their ski or snowboard tag.

Registration closed Wednesday evening.
