By Utah standards, this year’s storms have been feeble in terms of snow quantity but packed a wallop when it comes to frequent avalanches. Inside the resort boundaries the avalanche danger is minimal and so that’s were we headed at 9am. The Canyons Resort has such great access to the backcounrty, and after an hour or two of resort skiing we left the controlled area and eased into backcounrty terrain. We found snow more stable than I was expecting, though other parties triggered many avalanches throughout our region today.
