(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) People participate in a memorial bike ride along Wasatch Blvd in Salt Lake City on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2021, in honor of the four who died in an avalanche on Saturday, Feb. 6.
The streets were wet and brown puddles of runoff and slush pooled beside them. Above them, snow covered the mountains above Big Cottonwood Canyon and an icy chill filled the air.
About 40 people, many wearing pink beanies over their helmets, mounted their knobby-tired bikes Sunday for a six-mile ride that formed part of a fitting tribute to the four skiers who died in a Feb. 6 avalanche in Mill Creek Canyon. The muddy bike parade started at The Gear Room in Cottonwood Heights and ended at the Hangar 15 bike shop on Wasatch Boulevard, where friends, family and co-workers of three of the skiers spoke about their shared zest for life.
