We are devastated at the loss of these brave officers. Our heavy hearts and thoughts are with the Tremonton Garland Police Department and Box Elder County Sheriff's Office.

Let us never forget their ultimate sacrifice.

UDOT will close SR-210 at 12:30 am on 3/22/25. Interlodge travel restrictions for the Town of Alta will go into effect at 1:00 am.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

Thanks @UDOTcottonwoods and @UDOTavy for always having our small town's back. You guys put in a long day and crushed it!

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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.

@blablanilxin At the risk of violating my second resolution of not arguing on social, this isn't directed at any type of pass holder. We want all canyon visitors to be aware that we are expecting high traffic volume, poor road conditions, and likely heavy down canyon delays.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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!

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

Your driving is fine. Spelling...not really.

Additionally, to maintain emergency vehicle access, we are planning for the possibility of turning traffic away when no parking is available.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

Today's forecast has every ingredient for heavy downhill traffic delays, potentially lasting hours. Plan ahead .

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

@Jazzforeve1984 Sent you a message.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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.

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

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

[Alta Marshal @MarshalMike1]

@floriangkWX @AltaCentral Some properties have preset plans to stage in areas less susceptible to avalanche damage. If you are staying in an affected lodge, you will be notified.

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.
