Ski Roads

Ski Roads tells you whether Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons are open before you leave for Alta, Snowbird, Brighton or Solitude. Each canyon gets one status at a glance: open, wet, possible ice, icy, traction law or closed. Below it you see the pavement, the weather, the temperature and how many plows are out. A strip colors the mouth, middle and upper canyon separately, so a wet road in the valley and ice near the resorts don’t blur together. Conditions come from UDOT. When UDOT’s written reports go quiet, Ski Roads reads its live road sensors instead, and it flags wet pavement near freezing as possible ice. UDOT’s cameras for both canyons run in order from the valley up to the resorts. Tap a canyon to see them on a map, or open one full screen and swipe from camera to camera. Each camera shows how fresh its picture is, and offline cameras are marked offline instead of passing as live. When traction law or a closure is in effect, a banner on the home screen says so, and one tap explains what it means for your car. Ski Roads works in light and dark mode and in °F or °C, and it can open straight to the canyon you drive most. Road data and cameras come from the Utah Department of Transportation. Ski Roads is not affiliated with UDOT.
