I Hate Road Closures to Our Ski Areas for Avi Work.....

But here is why we have them....holy sh%6^ that is a big slide. We've had multiple ones today in Little Cottonwood. The road is closed between 3pm and tomorrow at 9am to deal with the very unstable snow pack. We have over a 100" base.

I hate Black Ice on the way to our icy slopes ..................

Cruel post even if not the intention given the monsoon here in Pa.

Are you jealous of these guys taking selfies from inside their car while buried in an avalanche?

Parley's rarely closes. Sometimes you have to go around. I bet DV is off the wall right now. An expensive ticket that actually might be worth it right now.:lol:

My friend moved to UT and is a cop in Park City. He says on a powder day, Deere Valley is always his 1st choise.

There have been lots of road closures due to Avalanche danger according to CDOT even I-70, close to Loveland. The past month has been crazy.

But it can be good to be interlodged at Alta/Bird if: a) no one get's caught in avalanche and injured or worse, b) the lifts are running, c) you can put your life on hold and enjoy the powder day with the LC canyon road closed and the only ones on the slope are those lodging at Alta/Bird.

in OP text ... closure from 3 PM to 9 AM following morning it means by 9:30 latest maybe 9:45 everybody who stock on the road will be at the resort..... One maybe two runs to remember..... if and that is big IF best stuff actually opens

also it means possibility those who didn't leave resort in time from day before stock there overnight

I'm going out to Alta/Snowbird at the end of February and staying at Goldminer's. First trip out west and it looks like I picked a good year.
