Avalanche

Salt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera says teams uncovered the bodies Friday morning. The men — 23-year-old Andrew Cameron of Utah and 32-year-old Austin Mallet of Montana — were killed in a snowslide Thursday morning in the area of Lone Peak.

Two backcountry skiers were killed and one was rescued after an avalanche Thursday in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City.

With improved safety gear and better training, advocates are working toward a safer Utah backcountry.

Utah’s Alta Ski Area pioneered the use of artillery on avalanches, but after 75 years, modern computerized devices are taking over.

Rather than a “heavy-handed approach” of writing tickets, the Utah Sheriff's Office wants people to understand the dangers that exist as avalanche snow is still melting in Provo Canyon.

The plan is updated every five years and state officials want public input in what to prioritize going forward.

Between road closures and interlodge orders, there’s a bigger impact than not just being able to ski at Alta or Snowbird.

Utah’s avalanche risk still persists with the record snowpack, warming temps and more snow in the forecast.

An unstable snowpack is making for tricky avalanche conditions in Utah’s Northern and Central mountain ranges.
