COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah — Hazardous road conditions in both Little and Big Cottonwood canyons led to ski bus and lift opening delays early Sunday.
The Utah Transit Authority resumed its ski bus system around 12:30 p.m. after a delay to wait until conditions improved.
Traffic was moving slowly up State Road 190 in Big Cottonwood Canyon as UDOT snowplows worked to clear roadways. Officials said no accidents were reported in the canyons, but traffic was slow due to conditions.
State Road 210 in Little Cottonwood Canyon remained closed until approximately noon as crews performed avalanche mitigation following Saturday night's storm. UDOT said in an update Sunday afternoon that there were 13 slides that hit the road during the avalanche mitigation process.
A traction law is in effect for all vehicles heading up canyon roads.
Road conditions and snow accumulation has led Brighton Ski Resort to delay some lift openings in the morning.
