UTAH — The Utah Department of Transportation has closed State Road 210 in Little Cottonwood Canyon as a result of a natural mud slide that crossed the road on Friday.

There is no current ETA on when the road will open. Uphill traffic is closed at the mouth of the canyon, while downhill closure starts at Snowboard Entry 1/Gate C. A spotter is on the scene and assessing the situation.

Like many transplants to Utah, Kevin started his journey to Park City as a ski instructor in 2014 and fell in love with the mountains enough to stay. A skier since the age of 2 and a half, he still gets excited about carving turns down the slopes and hopping into the powder on snow days. Kevin's passion for storytelling and photography led him to a second bachelor's degree focused on communications and fine art photography from the University of Utah. Paired with his first undergrad in ecology from Oklahoma State University, Kevin particularly enjoys writing environmental and nature stories. In his spare time, you can usually find him in his jeep looking for wildlife and landscapes to photograph.
