Utah’s Little Cottonwood Canyon was blanketed by a decent helping of fall snow earlier this month.
Those with an uphill/touring setup have been reaping the benefits, but the early-season party is coming to an end at Snowbird.
Snowbird announced yesterday afternoon that all uphill travel is now closed as they prepare for opening day on November 30th.
