If you’re headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon, we’ve got some tips for parking safe - especially on busy weekend days.
⚠️If you’re parking on the shoulder, always park to the right of the white line. If there’s been a lot of snow and you “can’t find” it, use a shovel! Do not park in the downhill lane.
⚠️Do not park overnight unless it is a designated overnight parking area.
⚠️If parking is full, do the safe thing and turn around in a safe place - ideally not the middle of the road.

Park safe and park smart to avoid a ticket from UPD, to help the plows continue snow removal, to prevent head on collisions, to create a better experience for all canyon users! 🙌 #BCCroad #SR190 #parksafe #udot @utahtransportation

#WeatherAlert: Tomorrow morning (Friday, Jan 17) we will be seeing a quick but heavy period of snowfall that will impact the morning commute, especially for those traveling up the #CottonwoodCanyons. Snowfall rates could reach up to 2”/hour, with 6-8” possible in the upper canyon.
Going up Big or Little Cottonwood to @snowbird @altaskiarea @brightonresort or @solitudemountain tomorrow? Make sure you are prepared for these winter weather conditions. This means having the proper traction devices BEFORE heading up (chains, snow tires), enough gas in the tank, extra water, blankets, snacks, gloves, a flashlight, and the ability to navigate your vehicle in the snow. Our @utahtransportation plow crews will be on the roads by 4am, see you out there! 👋

Even snowplow drivers get the (traffic) blues. If you don’t see us making frequent passes, it’s not that we aren’t out there, we’re actually right there with you in the #CottonwoodCanyons. We appreciate your patience on the way to fresh ❄️ and face-shots 🏂⛷.

‪#Weather Alert: We have more intermittent snow showers on the way for the #CottonwoodCanyons tomorrow, with at least 6 in. expected during the day. The heavier impacts will come in Saturday PM, so be prepared for a snowy downhill commute from the mountains.
