I just read this on snowbirds page.
An avalanche occurred Sunday, Dec. 14, 2008 at Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort on
High Baldy, hike-to terrain on the east side of the resort.
A witness reported the avalanched at 12:24 p.m. using a cell phone. The terrain opened at
9:30 a.m.
Snowbird has received 9” of new snow in the last 24 hours, 13 inches in the last 48 hours
and 93 inches so far this season.
Today was the first opening of the year of High Baldy.
