SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Fierce winds have shut down ski lifts at northern Utah resorts.
Gusts starting around 50 mph and blowing up to 90 mph halted the operations Monday.
Ogden Peak and the upper Cottonwood canyons registered the most severe winds.
Each of nine lifts at Snowbasin Ski Area near Ogden stopped in the afternoon.
The four resorts in the Cottonwood canyons and the three near Park City were also affected by the gusts, which were triggered by a cold front rushing over southern Utah
The National Weather Service reports gusts from near 50 and up to 60 mph at Canyons Resort and Park City Mountain Resort.
