My son is there right now and can't get to the mountain. The canyon road is closed for avalanche mitigation. I told him to go to Snowbasin.

Yeah an avalanche took cars off the road last night. So mitigation is very important and necessary now.

Little Cottonwood Canyon reopens to downhill traffic following avalanche

Skiers, snowboarders and anyone else otherwise recreating up in Little Cottonwood Canyon will be stuck for some time as officials say an avalanche has forced the road to close.

It looked like the busiest Wednesday non holiday week this year at Snowbasin. They spread out quickly so it was still way better than Park City, Brighton or Solitude.

Been years since I've been to Snowbasin and since then, they have supercharged that lift network. You only have he one base portal but once you move folks up and out of there, that Terrain and lift fleet really keep it fairly chill. And yet another HSQ coming in this summer.

There's a John Paul HSQ in addition to the Needles Gondy at the base. If you can get a coveted spot in the Wildcat lot there's a 6 pack there next to the triple, soon to be HSQ. They have a nice lift network. Most of the chairs have been Leitner Poma that have been very reliable.

Yeah, we skied in mid 2000's after the winter games and it was just John Paul and Needles for detach out of the base back then. Even still, once up with the Strawberry Gondola on the other end, really spread people out. With all the additional detaches they've thrown in since then in between and as you said out of the base, it is one impressive lift fleet.

On another thread I just read there was another multi hour delay in the LCC from just 4 inches of snow. I hope they do something there like better avalanche mitigation and more buses. The gondy propo$al sounds like a potential boondoggle. If they do go ahead with it though it would be nice to keep the crowds at Alta/Bird.

I had a parking rez for this morning. When I saw that the road was closed overnight AND it snowed I canceled. BCC is not much better.
