Growing up at the mouth of the Cottonwood Canyons, Chase Thomason went from deep powder kid to full-blown weather nerd after Twister hit screens. Now he’s a meteorologist at KUTV Channel 2 who still finds time to snowboard powder at Snowbird Ski Resort.

In this episode of Last Chair by Ski Utah, Chase explains the science behind the Greatest Snow on Earth including snowflakes, storms and Utah’s wild lake effect magic. Recorded at the High West Whiskey Library.
