Prepare for a great day of enjoying the #TheGreatestSnowOnEarth by respecting all UDOT avalanche backcountry and road closures.
Backcountry closures begin before planned avalanche road closures to ensure complete evacuation, with a typical closure starting at 10 p.m. the night before control work. Please respect these closures to protect yourself, the public, and future access for backcountry users.
Overnight road closures typically begin the night before, often between 10:00pm and 12:30am. Avalanche closures may also occur during the daytime as conditions warrant.
After large storms, UDOT may close the gates to the Spruces (Big Cottonwood) and White Pine Trailhead parking areas (Little Cottonwood) for snow removal work to create more parking spaces. Parking in some trailhead areas is restricted daily from 10:00pm to 6:00am in the winter season for snow removal operations.
