Kessler Peak

Big Cottonwood Canyon

March 15, 2002

A slide path locally known as "God's Lawn Mower". Avalanche control work by UDOT produced an avalanche about 5 feet. This avalanche fractured to old faceted snow.
The twin avalanche paths of Kessler and Argenta in Big Cottonwood Canyon both ran with explosive control by UDOT. Both ran wall-to-wall and argenta nearly reached the road.
