Utah author imparts hard lessons learned by avalanche forecasters from their encounters with ‘snow dragons’ Julie Jag © Rick Egan (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Avalanche Center forecaster Craig Gordon with Eden resident Ed Powers, on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021. Nearly every winter morning, Craig Gordon wakes long before the sun, slides his feet into his ski boots, grabs his touring skis and sets off into the Utah mountains to hunt for dragons. After 35 years around them, he’s come to know quite a bit about the beasts. He knows where they’re most likely to build their lairs and what draws them out. He knows when they’re prone to be in deep sleep and when they’ll be so ill-tempered that the slightest misstep might provoke them to unleash their fury on anything in their path. Though armed only with his backcountry safety gear, his vast knowledge and an eye for detail, he takes no chances.
