    This kind of irks me. I just hope this deters people from coming to the mountain a bit. Would be better if they had an automated rolling system in the canyons. That won't really be possible until...

    I have an ikon pass after a few years at Brighton. Should I pony up money for parking or just park on the road? I always get up to the mountain an hour before opening and avoid the canyon crap show.

    Finally someone got the message. Definitely lifted the spirit to see all the white in Upper Bells Canyon on the drive home from work. Snowbird posted a nice shot of the tram as well.
