Utah mountain peaks are the<br />
tallest in the country, on<br />
average. <strong>The</strong> average elevation<br />
of the highest peaks<br />
in Utah counties is 11,222<br />
feet, with an average annual<br />
snowfall of 500 inches.<br />
Utah's 14 Alpine ski resorts<br />
have the reputation of the<br />
world's greatest powder because<br />
the inland location has<br />
unusually dry snow. During<br />
WWII, paratroopers trained<br />
on the Alta ski center slopes<br />
located about 15 miles south<br />
of Salt Lake City.<br />
