SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The long Utah summer days are slowly coming to an end and the change of the seasons was signaled on Tuesday morning as Alta Ski Area revealed the state’s snow-capped mountains are returning.
The photo comes from a mountain camera overlooking Sugarloaf Peak. While plenty of grass can still be seen, there is an unmistakable layer of fresh snow on the ground and frosting trees.

Not quite ready for winter yet? Don’t let these images scare you. Snow is not in the 4Warn Forecast for the valley. According to Summit Post, Sugarloaf Peak’s summit is at about 11,000 feet, making it one of the first places in Utah to see snow every year.
