Bad weather shuts down LCC and ski resorts; interlodge orders issued
UTAH — Dangerous driving conditions and heightened avalanche risk has created scary circumstances for those trying to drive on I-80, and those at Snowbird Resort or Alta Ski Area.
Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC) is currently closed to travelers. The initial closure focused on the backcountry of LCC, but has since been expanded to the city of Alta. The time frame listed for a potential opening is 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
