Avalanche Partially Buries Vehicles Near Snowbird Ski Resort, No Injuries Reported

On Tuesday evening, an avalanche struck State Route 210 near Snowbird Ski Resort, partially burying three vehicles but resulting in no injuries. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) closed the road immediately while emergency crews assisted trapped motorists, who were advised to return to the nearest parking lots. The avalanche was triggered by significant snowfall, accumulating around 22 inches in 24 hours. Snowbird and nearby Alta were placed under interlodge restrictions, requiring all individuals to remain indoors until the situation was stabilized. UDOT crews conducted avalanche mitigation throughout the night, and the interlodge orders were lifted around 8:30 p.m. before the road reopened for downhill traffic shortly after.
