  8 deaths, 10 injured, $300K damage

  What happened

  Thunderstorm outflow winds generated blowing dust with near zero visibility along Interstate 15 near milepost 152 south of Fillmore. This resulted in a multi vehicle pileup with at least 22 vehicles involved, 8 fatalities, and 10 injuries. The nearest mesonet site located 7 miles south of the crash site recorded a wind gust to 32 mph around the time of the crash, at approximately 430 PM MDT.

  2 deaths, 1 injured

  What happened

  A group of three backcountry skiers set out early in the morning to ski in the Big Willow Aprons area near Lone Peak. After skiing for several hours without issue, an unintentionally triggered soft slab avalanche occurred on the north aspect of the slope (approximately 40 degree angle) around 10,600 feet elevation. The avalanche was approximately 18 inches deep, 150 feet wide, and had a vertical run of 800 feet. All three skiers were caught by the avalanche. One skier was partially buried and was able to self-extricate. After self-extricating, the skier attempted to find the transceiver signal of the buried skiers. Approximately 13 minutes after the avalanche, the skier successfully probed one of the buried skiers and uncovered them, but they were ultimately unresponsive when rescue breaths were attempted. In the subsequent minutes, the second buried skier was probed and uncovered, but also found to be unresponsive to any resuscitation attempts. Around 1-1.5 hours after the avalanche, a helicopter ambulance was able to hoist the injured skier out, and this skier was subsequently taken to the hospital and released later in the day. Due to unfavorable weather, search and rescue...

  1 death, 2 injured

  What happened

  Two skiers left the Butler Fork trailhead in Big Cottonwood Canyon Saturday morning 2/21 with the plan to do a run known as The Triangle. This is in Butler Basin, a Big Cottonwood Canyon drainage east of Gobblers Knob. The skiers ascended a steep north-facing slope next to the desired run, when near the top an avalanche broke. Both skiers were caught and carried around 100 feet down the slope, becoming fully buried at the bottom. Other groups of skiers in the basin witnessed the avalanche occur, and notified 911, Alta Central, and began rescue efforts. Around 10 minutes after the avalanche, one of the bystanders made their way to the debris, conducted a beacon search, and eventually found a splitboard binding still attached. Additional bystanders arrived and helped uncover the first victim, cleared their airway, allowing them to breathe and gain consciousness. The victim had suffered a leg injury, but was moved to a safer location. Around this time others began transceiver searching for the other victim, eventually exposing the boot. The skier was buried around 150 cm and face down. The second victim was unburied and CPR efforts were initiated. An EMT was longlined to assist...

  What happened

  Just following noon two children and their father entered a backcountry area by leaving the Brighton Ski area boundary west of the Crest lift. One of the children, an 11 year old female ahead of her other family members, traversed into the backcountry along an apron above Rock Garden towards the Mary Main bowl at which time bystanders on the ridge reported that an avalanche released above her. She was reported to have been caught and carried over 200 feet, becoming buried just downhill of a tree. Bystanders quickly called Brighton Ski Patrol and 911. The family did not have avalanche rescue equipment, and attempted to use phone location to narrow the burial location. With the aid of a ski dog, Brighton Ski Patrol located the girl roughly 17 minutes after initial burial. Rescuers performed CPR, but poor weather conditions prevented helicopter transport from landing. She was transported by ambulance for emergency care, but succumbed to her injuries.

  1 death, 1 injured

  What happened

  In the late afternoon hours a man and his juvenile son were riding snowmobiles in the Snake Creek/Ant Knolls area of the Wasatch Mountains roughly between Alta and Midway. The father reportedly became stuck at the bottom of a steep bowl like slope around 4:00 PM, with the son also becoming stuck upon attempting to help. An avalanche released from higher up on the slope, narrowly avoiding the son, but catching and carrying the father and his snowmobile roughly 300 feet down the hill, burying him near a tree under around two feet of snow. The son called 911 and began searching for his father, but by the time he was able to partially unbury his father, the father had passed.
