While I don't recommend doing this, I'll concede that this person was the fastest thing moving down the canyon last night. With snow packed roads, traffic jams can start forming as early as 3pm and last hours. Early departures might be worthwhile today.

I get asked a lot: "What do you think traffic will be like this afternoon?" Also... my last performance evaluation: "you need to work on being overly cynical".

There's never a time that parking lot or roadside camping/sleeping in a vehicle is legal in Alta. This is especially critical prior to UDOT avalanche work.

Deputy currently citing an individual who hid out in a vehicle overnight during closure. There's better ways to drop $1000 than paying court fines in Alta.

The 8:30 am time for tomorrow is an ESTIMATE. It is NOT A PROMISE. Being outside of a building before Alta Central officially lifts Interlodge results in these. ⬇️ They're expensive, will take up your time in court, and it's dangerous. PLEASE WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION FROM US

Happens up here more than you might think... Driving APP says there's a road where there really isn't. If you're not seeing Subarus and Tacomas going by, it might be a ski run.

Little doubt that there will be congestion and delays heading down the canyon this afternoon. Consider an early departure and have a full tank.

Hands down the winner of the I'm going up no matter what award this morning. Meanwhile, everyone trying to get home tonight, not so much.

Most weather sources are calling for intense canyon wind & snow early afternoon through the evening. Hazardous driving conditions and major delays getting out of the canyon are possible today. Please consider departure times accordingly.

Please check out Alta Ski Area's message for closing day: alta.com/events/closing… Additionally, to maintain emergency vehicle access, we are planning for the possibility of turning traffic away when no parking is available.

If you're spending the night in Alta, make sure to have your vehicle in a designated overnight parking spot before celebrating. Please and thank you!

Only 3 days into the New Year, and I've blown my resolution not to be a pessimist. Saturday has all the ingredients for challenging road conditions, detours via the Alta Bypass Road, and serious delays. Please equip and plan ahead.

If the forecast plays out as expected, traction controls, heavy traffic congestion and delays, avalanche mitigation all possible through Saturday. IF... we get into Interlodge restrictions, we'll be enforcing violations 💯. Reminder, all car camping is prohibited in LCC.

This afternoon's intensified weather and commute times (pardon the pun) are on a collision course with each other. Early departures are recommended today.
