Andy Van Houten, the snow safety manager at Park City Mountain, and Liana Phillips, a ski patroller, cover their ears on March 15 as an avalanche bomb explodes 40 feet downhill from where they’re standing at the resort in McConkeys Bowl. The Park City Mountain Ski Patrol team wakes up early on snowy days to clear danger on in-bound terrain before the resort opens. Park City Mountain has received more than 500 inches of snow this season. Avalanche danger was considerable on Thursday, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.
