Technically speaking Park City Mountain Resort owns the mountian but I checked out your page on Jupiter Hill and it is an exact match. Not the 1st time I have seen avalanches like this on that mountain. These are some dangerous times. Happy Trails out there Woodzy.

"Mountaineering is more than climbing (exercise), panoramic views, and wilderness experience. It is also challenge, risk, and hardship (self reliance). And it is not for everyone. Those drawn to the mountains can find them exhilarating and irresistible, as well as frustrating and sometimes even deadly. There are qualities to mountaineering that bring inspiration and joy in a pursuit that is more than a pastime, more than a sport – a passion, certainly, and sometimes a compulsion." --Mountaineering: "Freedom of the Hills", Chp. 1
