How often do they actually ticket on Bond & Wall?

Have they started a new song yet or still on the first one?
Dear Summit At Snoqualmie
Today, I got off the West Summit exit on I-90 at 8:15 a.m. and drove up the Alpental access road. Slowly.
It took a little while to get to the main Alpental lot. In the absence of any parking personnel or signs, I proceeded to drive up to lot 4, which, per the Summit's claim, is reserved for seasons pass holders only.
It was full on guerilla combat performance parking with the road up to lot 4 marginally navigable each way. Safety was absent. By the time I got to lot 4. it was 8:45 There was no parking available nor parking personnel directing anything. It took another 45 minutes to get back to the I-90 West Summit exit.
Could you please request of the fine, fine Boyne and Summit-At-Snoqualmie Management to allocate some resources to manage parking? Perhaps request that someone with some initiative put out signs when the lots are full? Maybe direct traffic? Hand out trinkets? Actually enforce the representation of lot 4 reserved for seasons pass holders?
I know it's too much to request that Boyne and your management not oversell the public resource to which the Summit has a lease. But I thought I'd try to at least fire an appropriate flare o-er your collective bows.
There was a pretty good line. I was surprised nobody else seemed to care, including lift ops. Midwest nice?
He filed in behind us and after I said something the two snowboarders behind him (triple lift) came up to join him. I stopped paying attention, but when I looked back halfway up I saw an empty chair behind me, then the two snowboarders, then him. It was nice that I wasn’t worrying about it anymore. I saw him a few runs later taking his snowboard off and walking over to the singles line, though he didn’t really seem a beginner.
Weird guy. Whatever.
To the west of the pay lot there's a little that's free and only for the Sports Hub and the taco place adjacent to the lot. Of course the pickup could have been patronizing one of the other businesses on the block but none of them were likely to appeal to a extended cab pickup driver. Dear pu driver--if I have unfairly stereotyped you I sincerely apologize, but get your goddamn truck out of the middle of the street.
I wrestle with this a lot. Even though I'm a boomer I prefer to ride alone. When there's no line or a long line the decision to join someone else is easy. But how much of a line behind me is enough that I should hop on with someone else.? One group? Three? I don't want to keep people behind waiting, but I don't want to barge in on a chair where I'm not wanted. I wish there was some objective standard so that I don't have to fret over this on those half busy days. Sounds like a problem for AI, after the zipper merge is solved.
I’m just talking about days with no lines, like ski right on the chair. I’m not worried about someone waiting for 20 seconds for the next chair coming around the bull wheel. I don’t get it, are they afraid of riding alone?

I just got a $5.28 check from Equifax due to a data breach. That's a nice "Fuck you” on top of getting my info stolen.
Speaking of Boyne parking lots and longer vehicles, the terraced parking at Barker (oldest Sunday River base area) clearly wasn't designed with modern pickups and vans in mind. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't actually designed or engineered at all, but that's beside the point.
To fit longer vehicles (pickups, some vans, etc) on most of the terraces, they need to be parked at an angle. If everyone does this, it results in minimal loss of spaces with the benefit of everyone being able to get out of their space (or into an empty space) without issue.
Most of the regulars seem to be aware of this and will park at an angle when starting a row, although a lot of them driving smaller vehicles tend to vastly underestimate the turning radius of an American battleship-turned-pickup.
But could Boyne be bothered to put up even a few signs? Nah. So you get people parking directly perpendicular, leaving those driving pickups and vans with the choice between matching the angle and potentially being stuck if the spaces across the terraced are occupied by anything larger than a Golf or creating a triangular void and parking in a way that gives them a fighting chance of leaving when they want to.

I went into a store to borrow a pen to leave the guy a note and the clerk said they do occasionally ticket.
A couple friends felt like I should have called the cops and seen if I was liable. I can’t get into all that. I should have seen it. Can’t hit a parked fucking car and whine about it. Pissed me off for about 15 minutes then I got over it.
The most irritating thing is how they had all your personal info/financial data to begin with, whether or not you've EVER used their services. Why the hell these companies are even entitled to your private data to begin with is infuriating.
Equifax is worth around 28 BILLION dollars. You'd think they could spring for better security, but nope. They say "F U and your data. Now take your $5 and shut up." Bet some class action lawyers got pretty damn rich off this one, though. Now have fun locking down your credit and cleaning up any messes they may have created.
Super dark tinted windows annoy me. I honestly believe that eye contact really helps to avoid accidents, especially for pedestrians. If I were a cop, I would be way more inclined to pull anyone over with tinted windows.
You don't need "Limo tint" though. I put in a lighter tint which really is much better than nothing and the cops can see in the car, so I don't get shot.
