It was white-out snowing as my sister and I drove from Mt. Carmel Junction to Bryce. There were two inches of snow on the ground by the time we arrived at the entry gate. Ten minutes later, we parked at the sunrise point TH and the snowfall ceased. Five minutes after that, the clouds broke. Fresh snow and sunshine at Bryce is glorious.

We skied from the Fairyland viewpoint to Bryce Point. Most of the trails had been well-worn in from from snow shoes and boots, but we did have some extended sections of fresh powder, as well. I highly recommend cross country skiing on the rim trail. There's some nice, gentle elevation changes and incredible views.

I had been to Bryce once before, but it was in the summer and super crowded. Never again. If you haven't visited Bryce in winter, move it up your list
