The aftermath of the avalanches that closed State Route 210 through Little Cottonwood Canyon to uphill travel for most of the past two weeks shocked skiers who took advantage of one of the last days to get to Alta Ski Area before it closes April 23.
. Equally motivating, however, was their curiosity about what was left of the canyon after a barrage of avalanches had come crashing through.It was so impressive, so changed, that Tom Hudachko of Salt Lake City called his 19-year-old son and told him he needed to make the drive.
“I was like, ‘Just come up here. Just drive up the canyon and look at it,’” Hudachko said. “‘You’re 20 years old and this is probably a 100-year cycle. It’s crazy.’”onto Snowbird’s Chickadee trail . The avalanche occurred while skiers and snowboarders who were stranded at the resort because of the road closures were out skiing on the trail. That sent the resort into interlodge — meaning no one but rescue personnel could go outside — and prompted a search effort involving a probe line and avalanche dogs. After a couple of hours, ski patrol declared no one had been buried in the slide.
On Friday afternoon, the Malkemes, a family of snowboarders from Seattle, gathered at the top of the Chickadee lift to enjoy a few last runs together at Snowbird. The road closure had actually worked in their favor. They had booked a week at The Cliff Lodge and were able to arrive during last Saturday’s brief road opening and expected to be able to leave this Saturday without issue.
“We both grew up here and have lived here,” Brian Malkemes, 47, said, “and it’s something we’ve never gotten to experience: to have this mountain alone.”
