Snowfall Forces Snowbird to Modify Customer Appreciation Days

Snowbird, UT – As more than a foot of snowfall from last week’s storm remains at the top of Snowbird’s Peruvian Express Chairlift, the Utah ski resort announced late Thursday it will not offer chairlift rides during the first two weekends of its annual Customer Appreciation Days as previously scheduled.
