When snow storms and weekends overlap in Utah’s mountains, chaos can ensue. Skiers and snowboarders need to be aware of slippery roads, avalanche mitigation and traction law enforcement. They’d also like to know how long it will take them to get to their favorite resort and whether parking will be available when they arrive.For the past six years, the Utah Department of Transportation’s Cottonwood Canyons social media accounts have been providing visitors to the Wasatch Front resorts frequent updates with just such information.Soon, those who ski in Park City will have easy access to updates about their roads, too.UDOT announced Monday that it has created a Wasatch Back social media account, @udotwasatchback, and will begin posting updates around Jan. 22. The updates will be geared toward skiers and snowboarders and cover conditions and hazards on the four main routes to Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain. They include Interstate 80 through Parleys Canyon, U.S. Highway 40 between Silver Creek Junction and Mayflower, State Route 224 from Kimball Junction into Park City, and SR 248 from Quinns Junction into Park City.Becky Parker, who last year stepped into UDOT’s newly created traveler information director role, said the agency has gotten demand for the service from numerous directions.For full story: The Salt Lake Tribune.The post UDOT to start posting updates on Park City area roads to resorts appeared first on Park Record.
