A skier was rescued Friday after sliding approximately 800 feet down the south face of Mount Superior in Utah’s Little Cottonwood Canyon. The man, visiting from out of town with two companions, had removed his skis and donned hiking boots when he lost his footing and slid uncontrollably down the mountain, Fox 13 News reports
Salt Lake County Search and Rescue responded
securing him on a sled and lowering him down the mountain using ropes before transporting him to the hospital
“He was alert, some lacerations and some bruises—no broken bones that we could tell,” Ryan Clerico, Vice Commander of Salt Lake County Search and Rescue, told Fox 13 News. “His helmet did save his life. His helmet was pretty badly damaged in the slide and fall.”
A LifeFlight helicopter was used to hoist one of the other skiers off the mountain after he felt uncomfortable skiing down on his own. The third man was able to ski out on his own.
Clerico emphasized the dangers of spring skiing and recommended that those venturing into such conditions carry an ice axe to help stop any potential slides. This incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with spring skiing and the importance of proper equipment and preparedness.

(Utah Department of Transportation) A rendering of a proposed gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon
On April 20, The Salt Lake Tribune published a “Voices” piece by Ski Utah President and CEO Nathan Rafferty on the subject of the Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola proposal
I believe the claims and evidence included were incomplete and/or misleading
Claim #1: “Up to three times as many respondents support the gondola than oppose it.”
The author linked survey results of Utahns asked
do you support or oppose UDOT’s decision selecting gondola as the proposed means of public transportation to address traffic congestion in Little Cottonwood Canyon?,” which included two sets of results
The inclusion of “up to” is doing the heavy lifting here
as both results indicate the most common response was
“I don’t know enough about the project to make a decision” (35.0% and 40.3%)
base station parking and road improvements at $521 million.”
This claim was helpfully accompanied by a UDOT proposal fact sheet. Confusingly, this indicated an estimated cost of $729 million. Based on a timeline provided by The Salt Lake Tribune
it appears the $521 million estimate may be referring to Phase 3 of the project specifically
that is not scheduled to begin for nearly two decades
Claim #3: “The funding model is a collaborative effort involving both public and private funds.”
and I have been unable to identify any specific estimates of private funding or assistance to the project
The issue of traffic congestion and accessibility for our canyons systems is complex
Presenting misleading arguments is not the solution

Forest Service is proposing a logging project aimed at fuel reduction outside Bozeman near the South Cottonwood Canyon
expressing strong opposition to the project
which spans the area between Hyalite Canyon Road and South Cottonwood Creek Trail and stretching north of Hyalite Reservoir to the forest boundary
The project focuses on reducing wildfire intensity and severity through fuel management
Custer Gallatin National Forest wants to reduce the amount by changing the structure of live and dead fuels through thinning and prescribed burns
The document explains fuel treatments lower the intensity of potential wildfire by removing excess fuels
NBC Montana spoke to an ecologist who spent most of his life in Montana
He believes logging and prescribed burning could make the problem worse
you open up the forest canopy and more sunshine gets to the forest floor
which makes them more susceptible to burning,” said George Wuerthner
Wuerthner also mentioned the wind as a major factor in large fires
He said opening up the forest canopy may make it easier for fires to spread
He's also concerned that prescribed burns lead to rapid regrowth of fine fuels like grasses and shrubs
He added Lodgepole pine trees surround the area and tend to burn approximately every 100 years
Wuerthner believes the Forest Service's focus on logging is driven by political pressure and a desire to protect homes in fire-prone areas
He suggests homeowners take measures like installing metal roof and clearing vegetation
which he says will be more effective at protecting homes than logging
We reached out to the Bozeman Ranger District for comment on the proposed project

SALT LAKE CITY – A 32-year-old man’s hand was stuck in a crevice on a rock wall in Little Cottonwood Canyon Sunday
At approximately 1 p.m., the man’s hand was caught on Lizard Head Wall in Little Cottonwood Canyon
and he was “inverted,” according to Det
Arlan Bennett with the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office
Bennett said the man wedged his leg into the mountain while falling
but there’s no estimate on how far the fall was
Bennett said the rescue was still underway at the time of publication
and the man’s condition was not immediately known
“We’re now working to try to get him out of the situation and get him to the hospital,” Bennett said
Salt Lake County Search and Rescue were able to get the man off the mountain
where he was taken to the hospital by helicopter in critical condition
SALT LAKE CITY — A hiker was injured after getting stuck while climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon on Sunday
was climbing an area called Cashmere Crack when he intentionally inverted himself to go feet first up a wall
Newhart said this is a common technique for climbing a steep wide crack
I used a technique that involves slotting my knee in the crack above me
and I was unable to remove it myself," Newhart told KSL.com
Newhart's climbing friends called search and rescue and used ropes to provide support for him while they waited
they and Newhart's friends set up a haul system
"After several hours of hauling on different parts of my body and dumping Nalgenes (water bottles) of soapy water on my knee
we were able to get my knee out of the crack," Newhart said
He was transported in critical condition by helicopter to the University of Hospital
the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said
Newhart said he is stable and should "make a swift recovery."
Check out the sights and sounds from Taste of Omaha 2024
Omaha dad Tom McLeay had a dilemma when he was with his 12-year-old daughter at a Denver soccer tournament
Dahlia Chong and Brooke Cooper enjoy a high tea at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel in Omaha on Wednesday
The hotel recently started having daily afternoon tea
and they had an unexpected day with nothing to do
checked out some possibilities and finally hit on a winner
They would go to one of the daily British-style afternoon tea parties in the beautiful atrium at the historic Brown Palace Hotel
“The room was just packed with people,” he said
“I was impressed with the age range and the specialness of it
On one side of us was a mom with a 5-year-old
On the other was a group with a 95-year-old grandma
McLeay has a historic hotel of his own in Omaha
He’s among the group of developers who purchased and restored the Blackstone Hotel to its former glory and branded it as the Kimpton Cottonwood
so he decided to take in the English tea service at the Kimpton Fitzroy on a family trip to London
with fine china and tiers of scones and other treats baked by the current champion of the Great British Bake-Off
He felt a little underdressed in the Creighton shirt
khaki pants and running shoes he’d worn on the plane
He was stuck in that ensemble because the airline lost his luggage
“That got my mind whirling about the (Omaha) hotel,” he said
I wanted to lean into the history of the Blackstone to bring back a wonderful tradition.”
He knew the hotel had afternoon teas in the past
Dahlia Chong fills up her tea glass during a high tea at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel in Omaha
The hotel uses fine china for its British-style daily tea service
“We have a picture of Ronald Reagan enjoying it,” he said
Daily tea service began at the hotel last week
Other Omaha entrepreneurs share his fascination with tea parties
Companies that offer British-style tea service have been popping up around the city over the last decade
They get busy around holidays such as Mother’s Day
Valentine’s Day and Christmas; cater birthday parties
baby and bridal showers and anniversaries; and organize public parties at various venues
I did a tea for 85 Girl Scouts,” said Julie Maben
who owns the Fireside Banquet Room in Papillion and operates Jule’s Mediterranean Catering
The Cottonwood is the only location in the metropolitan area that offers a daily tea service
It’s in the elegant Fontenelle Room in the front of the hotel
where there’s a fountain and wrought-iron tables to seat about 25 people
The top layer of a tea tower filled with assorted sweets offered with the high tea at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel
The tea — sourced from Artemis Tea & Botanical just down the street — is served out of delicate and decorative china pots into china cups
and a three-tiered china tower is filled with tiny ham and cheese and cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches
two teas were served: Earl Gray and Fantasia
“It’s something else to offer people who are here to enjoy Omaha — something that’s not taxing,” said Dayna Baker
Baker said the plan is to promote it with emails to people who have dined at the hotel and tease it on social media sites
Reservations are required with an advance notice of 48 hours “to make sure the experience is as perfect as we can make it,” Baker said
She thinks the teas will help Omahans remember the hotel’s storied past
It was built in 1915 and became known as an elegant and reliable stop on the Lincoln Highway
“One of my favorite things is hearing all the stories about how this hotel was in people’s lives,” Baker said
Other tea parties in the area are aimed primarily at metro-area residents
Maben has been doing them for about three years
She said she started because she saw a lot of them happening in Omaha but none in Sarpy County
Dahlia Chong and Brooke Cooper sip tea from china cups during a recent afternoon tea at the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel
The hotel uses tea from Artemis Tea & Botanicals
one of its neighbors in the Blackstone district
This weekend it’s the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day
so she’s serving mint juleps along with tea and hopes women will show up in elaborate hats like they do at the race
Christmas and Valentine’s Day teas for both public crowds and private parties
Her next open tea at the Fireside will probably be in June
and probably will be themed around the “Bridgerton” TV show
and she helps with teas and has a British accent
She has the British flair that I don’t,” Maben said
Maben uses her grandmother’s china on her tables
and now has people dropping off family china they no longer use to incorporate into her decorating schemes
She serves savory dishes and baklava she makes herself and sweets from Sugar Mamas bakery
The space there has a lot of floral decorations
pink plush couches and other girly touches and can accommodate 23 people
This business is known for owner Chelsie Schroeder’s innovative house-made treats
and many of them are featured at the teas: signature olive oil chocolate chip cookies
with Mandrake pudding served at “Harry Potter” and other whimsical treats at a coming “Alice in Wonderland” tea
Teas at the Bubbly Tart also offer alcohol such as wine and the house mimosas made with lemon and lavender
Most teas are $55 although holiday events may be higher
She moved from California specifically to work at the Bubbly Tart after meeting Schroeder about seven years ago and now handles most of the tea parties
“I’m in the middle of buying a house,” she said
“That’s a testament to what a good thing she’s got going here.”
The bottom layer of of a tea tower filled with assorted savory biteS st the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel’s daily tea service
started in 2023 and focuses on private parties
though they occasionally have public events at Le Voltaire restaurant near 156th Street and West Dodge Road
Owner Lisa Ehlers partners with chef Cedric Fichepain
who owns Le Petit Paris bakery next door to Le Voltaire
She has done private parties at Luli Creative House downtown
Turtle Doves in Gretna and midtown Omaha and The Joslyn
“You have to be creative when coming up with venues
Some people don’t have a big enough home to accommodate 12 people for a tea party
and there aren’t a lot of venues that rent to that few,” she said
and the Le Petit pastry chef makes other sweets such as petit fours
They serve tea from the Tea Smith in Omaha
Her tea parties, she said, draw people in outfits ranging from extremely formal to very casual, though the service is traditionally elegant. They’re usually $55 for adults and $30 for children. go to highteaomaha.com for more information
We’ve had people in jeans and T-shirts and folks in full regalia,” she said
“Our most recent bridal shower was for a bride getting married on (Kentucky) Derby Day
They really got into it and it was a lot of fun.”
So given all the elements you must consider
it’s also no piece of cake to choose the perfect apple pie from several contenders
We found six burgers we would all eat again in a heartbeat
but the team agreed that you can find several slices of good carrot cake in the Omaha area

Officials with the Utah Department of Transportation said two of the vehicles were partially buried
One of the people caught in the slide-off posted video to X
we just got hit by an avalanche," he said
"It just pushed us and pushed those cars up and out
all the way to the other side (of the road)."
Troopers from the Utah Highway Patrol were helping drivers dig out of the snow
Little Cottonwood Canyon was closed while crews worked to clear debris the roadway and mitigate the threat of an additional avalanche
and interlodge information page on X (formerly Twitter)
asked drivers to return to the ski resort parking lots
Snowbird Village was placed on Interlodge while crews to reopen the canyon
Mitigation efforts were completed just before 8 p.m
The road was cleared about 10 minutes later

It has been more than two months since the winning $1.26 billion Mega Millions lottery ticket ― sold from a gas station and mini market in Cottonwood ― was chosen
but California Lottery officials have not announced the name of the winner
Lottery officials also have not said whether the winning ticket holder has come forward to claim the prize money

Ticket holders must first notify the lottery and then complete and turn in a claim form
Lottery officials then go through a process of vetting the claim
A lottery law enforcement official interviews the claimant to verify the purchase
The standard verification can take weeks or months
"We wait until the entire claims process is over before we announce any winners to ensure it’s totally final before it’s public
That’s why we don’t acknowledge or confirm when we have someone come forward to claim the prize," Becker said
Also after everything is verified
the information is turned over to the California Controller's Office
which then disburses the money to the winner
While it could be a few weeks more before officials announce who won the $1.26 billion prize
including son Ishar Gill and daughter Jaspreet Gill have already received a payment for selling the winning ticket from their Cottonwood store
Lottery officials said back in December the family would receive about $1 million for selling the ticket

A project years in the making is crystalizing on the eastern bench of Salt Lake County and could bring hundreds of units and hotel rooms near the mouth of Big and Little Cottonwood canyons
A planned development on 21.5 acres that would add hundreds of housing units and roughly 60,000 square feet of commercial space in Cottonwood Heights could start construction as early as this year
The project, known as the Wasatch Rock Redevelopment
The development is the site of a gravel pit
and it’s located just to the south of the Interstate 215 bend and the overpass that extends over Big Cottonwood Road
The project is also a short distance to the north of Big Cottonwood Canyon
It was initially approved by the Cottonwood Heights City Council in 2021 after two years of planning and discussion
though a handful of details have not yet been finalized
The Wasatch Rock proposal would turn a former gravel pit into the following:
The condo building location and use are approved, but other parameters of that building, like the number of floors and number of units, have yet to be finalized and voted on, according to the minutes from a Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission meeting on Jan
During that meeting
the city’s community and economic development director
outlined each phase of the development’s building process
The first phase is to construct the seven-story apartment complex before moving onto building four of the commercial pads
followed by the remaining two commercial sites
Johnson said the project’s developer, Rockworth Companies
wants to start construction on the apartment complex this year
He added there’s no timeline available for when the full project could be finished.
a development associate with Rockworth Companies
told the planning commission that Rockworth plans to apply for building permits on the apartment complex
Nemelka said the condo building is projected to be 12 stories tall
with three levels for parking and nine levels for residential units
She added that the total number of condo units has not been spelled out
and the number would be determined based on the market
Though the maximum height allowed for the condo is up to 300 feet
Nemelka said Rockworth is planning on keeping the condo building well below that height.
The condominium is the main aspect of the project that’s still up in the air
as city staff was still assembling a technical analysis and staff report for the building
could be presented during a planning commission meeting in February.
After the planning commission makes a recommendation on the condo building
Johnson said it will then go to the city’s Architectural Review Commission for review
the final step is to the city council for approval.

A state senator wants to work with the federal government on land trades and facility acquisitions to create two new state parks — one for Big Cottonwood Canyon and another for Little Cottonwood Canyon
SB236 by Sen
authorizes the state Division of State Parks to receive donations of land and facilities; engage in transfers
exchanges or purchases of land in Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon; and enter into agreements with the U.S
Forest Service to manage and use land within those areas as state parks as part of the Utah State Park system
The bill is in the Senate and has not had a hearing
We’re actually asking the federal government to actually give us the unappropriated land so we can do exactly that in the state
We’ve got a lawsuit that the Supreme Court didn’t take up,” said Senate President Stuart Adams
“So we think we can control our lands better than the federal government
A lot of that area would be probably federally owned
So this is something we may be really aligned on
but I think I’m pretty excited about it,” he added
whose district includes part of the canyons
“I wasn’t aware of the bill up to this point
But if we want to put it under state control and and designate it as a state park so that we can better address some of the solutions and some of the issues that we’re dealing with in those canyons
that could be an interesting discussion,” he said
The canyons are highly popular due to their close proximity to Wasatch Front residents
received roughly 3.2 million visitors per year in an area spanning about 80,000 acres
Arches National Park — one of Utah’s beloved national parks — receives about 1.8 million visitors per year
according to a visitor use study from last year
The overall concept looks really good but we’ll see how it negotiates out.”
One lawmaker questioned if the state parks proposal is a way to circumvent a 2023 decision by the Utah Department of Transportation to pursue building a gondola to ease the canyon’s notorious traffic congestion
The gondola is expected to reduce motorized use of the canyon by 30%
The plan calls for tolling and increased bus service in its first phase
as well as a mobility hub with 1,500 parking stalls by Big Cottonwood Canyon
New snow sheds are included in a second phase to address avalanche safety before a possible gondola is built
The 8-mile gondola line would offer service to Snowbird and Alta from a base with 2,500 parking spaces at the mouth of the canyon
Cox has said the state should not be the only entity bearing the costs of the gondola
