Snowbird president and GM Dave Fields: One way in and one way out of Little Cottonwood Canyon is a safety issue. A gondola is the right choice.
One way in and one way out of Little Cottonwood Canyon is safety issue. A gondola is the right choice.
Fast forward to 2023, and the conversation about the perilous drive up the canyon persists because Little Cottonwood Canyon is different from any other canyon in the nation. The problem of putting thousands of vehicles on a steep, two-lane road with one of the highest avalanche hazard indexes in North America has only intensified with Utah’s population growth.
UDOT workers use a bulldozer to clear off State Route 210 through Little Cottonwood Canyon on April 13, 2023. The agency had to close the canyon completely for eight days in an 11-day stretch at the beginning of April 2023 because of high avalanche danger. Access to our canyons for all Utah families is imperative for the next generation, and a gondola system allows for the responsible management of that access year-round. It protects the watershed, wildlife and land, while offering travel reliability. It protects Mount Superior through Snowbird’s commitment to a conservation easement for its private land that preserves this iconic mountain.
