Salt Lake City, Utah – Heavy snow continues to impact the Wasatch Range as crews work tirelessly to keep SR-190 and SR-210 open for travelers.

Video filmed by X user UDOT Cottonwood Canyons shows a large yellow Caterpillar snow plow clearing deep, fresh snow from narrow canyon roads near ski resorts like Snowbird and Alta.

The plow pushes thick piles of snow to the side, sending clouds of powdery spray into the air as its blade cuts through drifts over a foot deep. Headlights and work lights illuminate falling snowflakes and the rugged alpine terrain.

Snow-laden evergreen trees, steep rocky mountainsides, and distant peaks form a dramatic winter backdrop. The footage captures the sheer scale and effort required to maintain safe access roads amid ongoing heavy snowfall.

Posted on February 9 and February 11, 2026, the videos accompany daily weather forecasts warning of 3-5 inches of road snow near resorts, overnight accumulations of 2-4 inches, slushy lower canyon conditions, and potential travel delays.

UDOT crews continue proactive plowing operations to manage winter storm impacts in this popular ski region, ensuring safety and accessibility on the Wasatch Front.
