NOAA record 5275195 ↗A 43-year-old woman from New Hampshire was killed in an avalanche while skiing the backcountry of The Canyons Ski Resort. The avalanche occurred on Square Top Mountain as the woman was skiing with 5 others, but none of them were injured.
NOAA record 5276433 ↗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.
