Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah has been closed again after guests staying in interlodge at a ski resort were given just four hours to evacuate due to avalanche danger.
Both Alta Ski Area and Snowbird Ski Resort returned to interlodge after a natural avalanche occurred in Little Cottonwood Canyon. No one was injured or buried in the slide. The slide started on the south-facing, lower section of Mount Superior outside of Snowbird’s boundaries and crossed state Route 210 before coming onto the western edge of the Chickadee Trail. Interlodge orders were temporarily lifted earlier Thursday, and guests were allowed on the mountain.
