スノーバード・リゾートのトラムで緊急停止、乗客が一時足止め
2025年6月19日水曜日の午後4時30分頃、スノーバード・リゾートの赤い空中トラムが降下中に緊急ブレーキが作動し、40人の乗客が山の上空で2時間立ち往生しました。
乗客の一人であるモニカ・スチュワートさんは、ブレーキがかかった際の衝撃を「車が急ブレーキをかけたようだった」と振り返っています。彼女が乗っていた車両には、子ども14人を含む31人が乗っていました。
スノーバードのスタッフは、必要であればロープを使って降下させることも検討しましたが、最終的にはメカニックがトラムの点検を行い、ブレーキを解除して全員を無事に降ろすことができました。スノーバードの社長兼ゼネラルマネージャーであるデイブ・フィールズ氏は、緊急ブレーキシステムは予定通りに作動したと述べ、スタッフのプロフェッショナリズムを称賛しました。
トラムは木曜日の夜には通常通り運行を再開しました。また、トラムの緊急停止後も山頂に取り残された乗客のために、ブルーのトラムやペルービアン・チェアリフトも使用され、下山をサポートしました。一部の乗客は、幼い子どもを連れて山を下るのに数時間かかった人もいました。 #Snowbird

Avalanche IV
Avalanche IV is actually the fifth and last in a series of images that I captured skiing at Snowbird in Utah.
Taken from the top of Snowbird I captured this sequence starting from the cornice blast to this concluding image.
This final image is one of my favorites from this sequence as it shows some scale to the whole event.
Here the avalanche is starting to settle.

Avalanche III
Avalanche III is now the fourth in the series of captures caught while skiing at Snowbird out in Utah in the Rocky Mountains.
Starting with the Cornice Blast where the ski patrol set off roughly 30 charges to blow a dangerous cornice from the ridge over looking the ski resort.
Avalanche III shows the snow coming off a cliff and fanning out in the bowl below the cliff.

Avalanche I
One of my passions that I have had since I was a young boy has been skiing. I learned on the small hills in the Midwest but have been skiing the Sierras and the Rocky Mountains for the last 35 years.
This was a man made avalanche as Snowbird ski resort ski patrol worked diligently to keep the mountain safe. A series of detonations at the top of a cornice set this one off.

The rapidly approaching #CanadianElection isn't a certain win for either major party. Polling favours the #Liberals due to interim PM Mark Carney's handling of the US's aggression, but it's missing the returning #snowbird niche. In 2 days I've heard 2 stories from that group: one who hates every dollar "lost" to Liberal policies, has Florida property and is open to ideas like "one Canada-US currency," and another whose car with Quebec plates was vandalized in FLA, who fears invasion.
I’t’s been so cold lately, I am trying NOT to read too much into the fact that some people call Dark-Eyed Juncos “Snowbirds”.
