I am not sure what channel it was. I am not usually home in the mornings and the kids just turned on the TV when they started talking about it. I looked on the website for UDOT but I could not find anything there either (I could not find anything on that site that was very useful though.)
Their talking to skiers & snowboarders about it? Pleeeease!
I saw this...
coming years ago. Too many people in Utah don't and won't get involved. It is going to get way WORSE. Thank you, yourself and your friends that take everything for granite and do nothing. I'm 50, no kids...it will not effect MY future generation. But it will effect YOURS, at least those of you that have children. So enjoy it why we still have it...

The state is talking about plowing guardsmans?? It was a one lane crap shoot dirt road 2 yrs ago. Whatever I guess, hey UDOT use your money to stop half assing the responsibilities you already have instead of taking more on you know you can't handle. You would think I have some issues with UDOT 
. They need to make it an actual drivable road long before it gets plowed, not in the near future. As for wolf creek, grooming is the only thing keeping that from being plowed all winter. Oil boom might just tip the scales there.

If you actually read through this thread, it would seem that people ARE getting involved. Emails are being sent, contact info has been posted, plow truck drivers have been talked to, hell, someone even blocked off the road. The buzz about this issue has started, and will hopefully snowball into something that will raise an eyebrow.
Me, myself, and my friends don't take anything for granite (little lone EVERYTHING), as well as a major majority of fellow sledders. That being said, their are a few that take things for granite, but very few, and they stand alone. If you've seen this coming through out the years, what have you done, to get the word out, and spread awareness? Or are you exempt, because you have no kids?
I think that people get involved in different ways. Some directly, some indirectly. Some people don't feel comfortable sending emails, and making phone calls, and that's fine. I feel that people showing up at the trailhead every weekend, wanting to ride, speaks volumes.

could you share the email address you used for UDOT?
I drove over guardsman this past fall and was surprised to find it no longer dirt/gravel... now I know why.
Mirror Lake highway too.....wow. UDOT has never really been known for using their brains, but this is really low, even for them. Plus 143 through Cedar Breaks and Brian Head.
I can tell you from having had to work with UDOT before, there is NO common sense in that bunch, and they won't budge until you get your state reps involved. Start writing letters now, to head this off, especially whoever represents Kamas and Big Cottonwood...start telling them about all of the dollars they are going to start losing.

Wow!! That's a horrible story! I have to tell you since they plowed it I've had to hug the edge so my scratchers wouldn't slice threw to the pavement and the thought of hitting one of this post was in my mind the whole time. The road should never have been plowed once snow had built up on it. Shame on UDOT!!!!

In my opinion, Plowing had no effect on accident. Tragic accident. Prayer goes out to family.

OMG just read the KSL story on this how sad! Condolences.
I really hope UDOT understands there's a good chance them plowing the road when the road was marked closed to traffic and only open for winter recreation played a part in this accident. With the sun and warmer temps I bet pavement was coming through and forced the sledders to ride the edge of the road which is very dangerous! SHAKING MY HEAD.
