In this week's episode, we start by diving into some of the numbers from our previous storm cycle. We'll review the avalanche activity and talk about current conditions in the backcountry.  Next, Jack and I did the work for you and have the low down on updates to parking in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. Things are changing and long gone are the days where you could wake up at 8am, get to Willow Fork at 9am, and park for free. We'll talk about transportation solutions, who is responsible, and why things are changing.

Jack and I briefly discuss the Wasatch Backcountry Alliance and their new membership program. We encourage you to head over to their website and sign up to be a member. It comes with great benefits and these folks are carrying a lot of the weight for the backcountry ski community by advocating for human-powered recreation in the Central Wasatch.

As we wait for the Town of Brighton to finalize the parking reservation system, you can follow @saltlakesnowcast for updates or visit brighton.utah.gov. 

Thanks for the support! See you on the skintrack.
