What? You're telling me I can't ski? Here, Hold My Skis.
The Wasatch snow is melting so fast that I could tell today was my only chance of continuing my almost 26-year monthly streak. I showed up at the Bird's tram with my skis this afternoon, fully expecting to hitch a ride up. I was told the policy changed last month. Someone at Snowbird made the mistake of posting on social media that there was a way for riders to continue taking their skis and boards on the tram, even after the season was over. They had crowds of people show up, despite the dangerous conditions. Most had no business even being on the mountain. At least one person got severely injured and, suddenly, that was the end of that. At least for this summer, "until they have a chance to reevaluate the policy for next year."
I told the gatekeeper that's all fine and good, but I've got a streak I don't intend to stop just yet, so that policy was not gonna work for me. A supervisor was called in to repeat there's nothing they can do unless I wanted to write to management to explain my situation.
"Write to management, I asked?" "Yeah, right. No, I don't have time for that. Here; hold my skis."
