NOAA record 495253 ↗This particular avalanche fatality attracted attention because the victim, a 34-year-old male, was employed by the Utah Department of Transportation to forecast and control avalanche conditions. The victim was on duty, doing fieldwork alone on Kessler Peak (in Big Cottonwood Canyon), when he apparently ventured just a foot or two off of the safer snow.

NOAA record 395939 ↗Every entry comes from the NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database, the federal record of severe weather in the United States. We reproduce it here filtered to Utah and made searchable — we do not edit, add to, or interpret the records. Where NOAA lists a wind speed in knots we show it in miles per hour; everything else is verbatim.
Locations are NOAA's own county and National Weather Service forecast-zone names, which is why you will see both Salt Lake and Wasatch Mountains South of I-80. A storm not listed here was not necessarily absent — it means NOAA has no recorded report for it, which is common for isolated hail.
