Over the course of the past few days, Utah’s Little Cottonwood Gully, also called State Highway 210, has been closed as crews work to clear inescapable trash from torrential chutes throughout the gorge. WorthFPV shared a video of the relief system on YouTube.
Utah Division of Transportation crew workers are trying to clear torrential mudslides that have occurred as more than 60 snowdrifts have continued to fall over the past week.
WorthFPV’s YouTube video captured the result of some remarkable torrential slides for Little Cottonwood Gulch. From Sunday, April 2 through Friday, April 7, SR-210 was closed. Parts of the field were covered by several torrential landslides as debris piled up to 20 feet deep and exceeding 600 feet wide.
The Maybird and Leather Treater slider tracks were shown in the YouTube video, covering the fairway in a dark level. The Alta Ski Region and Seasonal resident worked alongside UDOT on a huge construction site to clear the road in a hurry.
The Utah Division of Transportation informed the general population of the circumstance via Twitter. They asked if anyone was stuck in the valley or in the ravine trusting that the course would open up. UDOT shared a video for everyone to see why they needed to keep the field closed for so long.
They closed by saying that their groups were working as hard as possible to safely resume the gorge. The field, which was completely covered in snow, looked remarkable in the video, as it put the risk of torrential mudslides in Utah at the point of view.
Little Cottonwood Ravine is home to the Alta and Seasonal Resident Ski Resorts. Ongoing torrential landslides have forced the gorge into an intrusion for a dubious number of days, leaving visitors and skiers stranded.
On Thursday night, Seasonal resident authorities said another torrential slide accumulated on Mount Prevalent had crossed State Highway 210 and onto the ski resort’s Chickadee Trail. A representative for the Utah Transportation Branch, John Gleason, told Axios Salt Lake City that this is the longest time Little Cottonwood Gulch has been closed in many years.
Since the 2023 28th hike, more than 30 torrential landslides have spilled in total in Almost Nothing and Big Cottonwood Gorge. Be that as it may, Big Cottonwood Gorge returned on Wednesday, April 5.
Despite the track being closed, many snowboarders and skiers camped out near the Little Cottonwood Foundation Thursday morning as they continued to hope the green light would begin their exercises on the slopes.
Good evening from Little Cottonwood Canyon ?
After receiving 29” of snow in the last 24 hours and over 6 feet of snow in the last week, we finally got to enjoy a sunset before the next storm hits. pic.twitter.com/doi95Q9ujI

UDOT’s stormslide program manager, Steven Clark, told correspondents Thursday that because they moved beyond the storm cycle, it didn’t mean they were also out of stormslide hazards. He went on to say that the overflow of snowfall has disrupted the whirlwind of the relief team and maintenance workers.
A seasonal resident representative told Axios Salt Lake City that about 1,500 people, including visitors and workers, were snooty at Little Cottonwood Gulch.
The most recent update from the Utah Division of Transportation was on April 8, where they reported that all movement along SR-210 will be closed going forward at 9 a.m. Saturday and will remain closed until around 7. p.m.
