After the last storm, the Cirque at Snowbird is holding 1.5 to 2 feet, and at the most privileged spots, even more. Not bad for early November! Yesterday when I got to the trailhead the temp was 31F at 8,500' and outright brisk close to 11,000' so not only is the coverage good (I didn't hit a single rock) but the snow quality was great. Here are some pictures (click to enlarge):

Although mostly overcast, there were rare
blue skies too |

Here, in some spots the snowpack was close to three feet deep
