Good afternoon neighbors.

Starting tomorrow evening and lasting through next weekend, based on projections, we are in for some very interesting fall weather.

Three significant storms are lined up to hit us directly. Initially the precipitation is wet….very wet, with the third storm likely producing ice and snow for us.

The first storm shows up early evening on the 10th (Sat) with light to moderate rains and then extremely heavy rains on the 11th (Sun) until early morning the 12th (Mon). Some models showing 4 inches of rain.

Storm number two starts the 12th (Mon) and temps will drop. This will last until late night the 13th (Tues). Temps are still warm at our elevation so precipitation should be light to moderate rains.

Storm number three visits on the 15th (Thurs) through the 18th (Sun). At our elevation, temps drop below freezing and fluctuate around freezing during this event. There is a strong chance of snow and ice in the neighborhood.

Alta forecasted for up to 10 inches of snow and PC 6 inches at mid mountain. If you’re headed to Montana, take your boots. Big Sky is forecasted at 24 inches on the valley floor.

Just some thoughts:

- It’s the weather….best guess based on modeling. “Non-attribution” applies😉.

- The TSSD Road Crew is ready. Heavy rains will overwhelm our culverts and create minor damages to road surfaces. Repairs will be attended to after the rains. In the event of major issues that threaten a road, such as a washout and requires immediate attention, contact TSSD.

- As the temps drop below freezing, roads will likely be slippery with a possibility of ice, especially our paved pitches. TSSD will apply salt as required. Please be vigilant to the dangers presented by these freeze and thaw conditions.

- The ground is still warm and although we may get snow it will melt from the roads in short order. If there is a sizable accumulation on the roads, clearing operations will take place.

- Our road snow markers and winter driving signs are not in place yet. Please drive slowly and cautiously as road conditions will change rapidly with these storms.

- If icy conditions exist, please do not attempt downhill travel on Douglas. Use Cedar Court to Cedar Way and down to Ponderosa.

Thank you.

Good morning all. Just quick update on roads.

We are transitioning from “summer roads” to “winter roads”. What that means?

….until the end of Nov, we will be doing occasional road maintenance, signage, placing winter road markers, taking delivery of critical road maintenance supplies, and other activities.

….first step……speed bumps were removed. Thank you for a summer of cautious driving. Please continue to drive slowly. Our roads are dusty, folks are out enjoying the beautiful Fall to include our smaller neighbors playing and riding bikes, and our friendly four legged companions still wander around looking for the occasional pat from passersby’s.

…..TSSD will send an email blast soon with very important seasonal road information. Please take the time to read and make sure family, friends, and service providers are aware of and follow the seasonal rules that keep our roads safer and open.

…..this page will be more active with road related updates for the onset of winter and through Spring melt.

Thanks all.

Just a reminder to all. Please stop by and meet your neighbors and the TSSD Board and staff.

Hello all,

Efforts to clear and reestablish drainage culverts around the neighborhood is going well.

We have had numerous incidents where both residents and non residents have damaged some of that work by parking in the drainage culverts and collapsing the culvert walls. The road crew has to readdress the damaged areas which costs all of us.

Please help and let guests and contractor’s know to stay out of the culverts.

Thank you

Good morning neighbors,

Roads update:

1. The Douglas culvert work is complete and both sides of the pavement are shored up to halt the asphalt damage issues.
2. Spring melt control measures have started on far west Ponderosa. This work will last only a day or two longer.
3. Work will begin shortly on the dog leg from east Ponderosa to the “doll-houses”. The rocks placed along the east edge of that stretch will be removed. This serves two purposes: 1. Widen the road to allow more comprehensive snow management. 2. Remove hazards (rocks and dirt mounds) that have historically posed a considerable threat to the neighborhood heavy equipment limiting operations.
4. Occasional grading continues on the west Ponderosa pitch and parts of Douglas to reduce washboarding. Please focus on reducing speeds to reduce road wear.
5. Trial dust abatement operations are ongoing in certain areas, specifically the east side.
6. Some riders on bikes, e-bikes, and quads continue to do doughnuts, skids, and burn-outs on the roads. This damages the roads and creates long term issues. Please help.
7. Some drivers (neighbors and contractors) are still damaging recent road/culvert work by driving into the culverts to park. Please help.
8. The fire emergency evacuation route gate on west Ponderosa was opened and Summit Park traffic started transiting the neighborhood. Summit County Council Resolution 2020-12 governs the use and control of this area. The gate is to remain closed, unlocked, and free of obstructions/parking. * if you see the gate open, please close it and secure it with the 2x8 board on the Summit Park side.

Thank you,

Beat to all

🚨 TODAY IS NOT THE DAY TO DO ANYTHING THAT COULD START A FIRE.

Utah is facing one of the most dangerous fire weather days we’ve seen this year.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed central and southern Utah under an EXTREMELY CRITICAL fire weather risk, with nearly all of the state under a Critical Fire Weather Risk.

Expect southwest winds of 25-35 mph, gusts up to 45 mph, humidity as low as 5-15%, and dangerous fire weather conditions that could last 10+ hours.

This is the kind of weather where one spark can become a fast-moving wildfire in minutes. With the Cottonwood Fire already burning and vegetation across Utah critically dry, firefighters are on high alert for any new fire starts.

Please do your part today. Skip anything that could create a spark. Hold off on target shooting, campfires, and fireworks. Don’t park over dry grass, and make sure trailer chains aren’t dragging.

Remember… about 80% of Utah’s wildfires this year have been human-caused.

Let’s not add another fire to the list today. Protect Utah. 🔥

Hello neighbors,

Please be vigilant and aware.

06/22/2026

Good morning all.

It appears at least one of the large wildland fires in the valley was started by carelessness.

Our current fire danger is concerning and increasing.

Please stay vigilant and champion safe practices/measures to keep our wildland interface safe.

Best to all.
