“We saw a backcountry helicopter crash, so sad,” one witness tweeted. “Hopefully everyone is ok – it flipped on landing maybe because of blowing snow obscuring landing area. Blade flew quite a ways into the trees.”
According to KPIC, The Mineral Basin Express and Baldy Express lifts at the Snowbird resort have been closed until further notice.
