While the resorts up both #CottonwoodCanyons have suspended operations for the time being, we will continue to provide updates on road information for all canyon users (road weather concerns, rockfall, construction, crashes, etc.). Thanks all, and safe travels on your way up the 🏔! ❤️👋⁣

And just like that spring break is upon us! We’ve been mentioning this topic quite a bit lately but reducing #CottonwoodCanyons congestion is something near and dear to all of us.👇⁣
⁣
🚌 The park & ride lots closest to the canyons are full by 8:30am on MOST days - including week days, so try parking at one of the underutilized park & rides for more parking spaces AND less of a wait to GET ON the bus! For the 972 Route (Brighton/Solitude) that’s the Midvale Ft Union Station lot. For the 953/994 Route (Snowbird/Alta) that’s the 9400 S 2000 E and 6600 S 950 E lots.⁣
⁣
🚌 Use the Transit App (download at transitapp.com) to plan your trip.⁣
⁣
🚌 Not sure where your bus is? Use @rideuta ’s bus vehicle locator tool:https://www.rideuta.com/Rider-Tools/Vehicle-Locator⁣
⁣
🚌 Both your season pass and the @ikonpass allow you to use ANY UTA mode of transit for free to get up to the resorts in the canyons!⁣
⁣
✨If the bus is not the best option for you or your group, CARPOOL. Carpooling relieves pressure off the full UTA buses and bus lines on busy days. It also reduces the amount of cars in the canyon, which is a win-win for beating congestion and decreasing car emissions. Try joining one of the #TravelWise ski resort carpool networks (see our #TravelWise 🚗pool highlight)!⁣
⁣
✨When all else seems to fail: you didn’t wake up early enough to beat the traffic, taking the bus doesn’t work this day, you don’t have buds to carpool with...you CAN #RethinkYourTrip (!!!) Uphill traffic is often heaviest from 7-9am. Why not wait until later in the day to go shredding when those prime parking spots open up around noon on busy days?⁣
⁣
Good times await everyone in the #CottonwoodCanyons and we’re hoping you’ll #TravelWise to get there! ——————#utahtransportation #UDOT #LCCroad #SR210 #BCCroad #SR190 #moresnowplease #GreatestSnowOnEarth #beutahful

How we feel about spreading road information in the #CottonwoodCanyons 🤘

Hey all! While YOU may have been following along with all the road information for the #CottonwoodCanyons (and we 💙 you for it) - we bet there’s a chance your visiting friends and family and others new to the area are not! We’ve put up info signs in parking areas throughout #LCC and #BCC with information on where to find our updates, including a QR code to scan using your phone's camera that will take you directly to the website!

If you see one of the signs, take a pic, tag @UDOTCottonwoods and a friend who needs to know what’s up in the canyons! #LCCroad #SR210 #BCCroad #SR190

With today’s LCC closure, the holiday, and more

With today’s LCC closure, the holiday, and more ❄️ on the way, it could be a busy one in the #CottonwoodCanyons - especially in #BCC. Here’s a few #WinterInTheWasatch tips for you to keep in mind: ✅Do use park and ride lots other than the ones at the mouth of the canyon, such as 9400 S/Highland or 6600 S/950 E, depending on the canyon you are headed to. This helps alleviate congestion near the mouth of both canyons. 👍 ✅Do park behind the white line like the folks in the beginning of the 🎥. This is 🙌 and what we love to see (it’s safer for everyone). ✅Do #TravelWise by carpooling to take up less parking spaces, hopping on the @RideUTA ski bus or adjusting your travel times where you can. ❌Don’t park in the roadway or areas signed with NO PARKING cones. Also, please leave the cones in the canyon where you found them. 👀 at you, drivers parked IN the roadway. ✅Follow us for the best #CottonwoodCanyons roadway and transportation info out there. Tag a friend while you’re at it 🤙
Thanks all, enjoy your holiday turns❄️⛷🏂
