CLOSED OUT

3-31-23 by dave

Today was another very rare occasion, with a close out of the Canyon. Both Snowbird and Alta did not open today and the Canyon did not open till after 3 PM due to mitigation efforts. There was oodles of overnight snow, which, added to the constant accumulation of the past number of days, made the conditions an epic occasion.

Mikey M sent me this shot taken from The Cliff Lodge where he was interlodged. Here the Patrol finishing up a control pass.

Tomorrow, look for improved visibility as the weather is clearing out, fresh Essence wall to wall, and the promise of The Wasatch waiting in the wings. The Canyon will be close overnight, so expect delays in the AM. Check the Bird’s site for updates on the situation. It will be an amazing day on many levels. Stay Frosty!!!
