Summit County Judge Edward Casias ruled that employees of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center would be required to testify in the trial of Evan Hannibal and Tyler DeWitt next week, dismissing a motion from the Colorado Attorney General’s Office to quash their subpoenas and keep them off the witness stand.
On March 25, DeWitt of Lakewood and Hannibal of Vail were snowboarding above the Loop Road at the Eisenhower/Johnson Memorial Tunnels when they triggered an avalanche. Nobody was injured in the slide, but it covered more than 400 feet of the active roadway below in debris up to 20 feet deep and damaged a remote avalanche-control unit.

A Silver Creek construction company was defrauded out of nearly $30,000 after it was believed a supplier’s email was hacked, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
The contractor reported that a supplier emailed them instructions for how to wire payment for supplies totalling $28,240. The contractor wired the funds in early February, but the supplier said it never received the money.
Deputies indicated that the email was sent from an address that wasn’t affiliated with the supplier.
Deputies indicated they would follow up.According to the Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement responded to several other calls between Monday, March 8, and Sunday, March 14, including several incidents of intoxication and a man who hid a marijuana pipe in a patrol vehicle.

Summit County Manager Tom Fisher, who is also a brigadier general in the Utah National Guard, paused during one of the more unusual meetings he’d convened in his time in the top post of the county’s government.
It was March 14, 2020.
Looking around the conference room, Fisher saw top officials from Summit County and Park City, elected officials and department heads in the same room working on the same problem.
In an interview nearly a year later recalling the early days of the pandemic that has changed so many aspects of daily life, Fisher drew on his military experience to describe his thinking at that moment.
