This is awesome. I hope he wins.

Hope he wins? Why?

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Because he's "the man"?

That asshole needs a drink and chill the fuck out.

Hope he wins? Why?

Three-fold:

1. It doesn't personally affect me one bit. I had to stop drinking beer a few years back due to a medical condition, but I had quit going to the Snowbird Oktoberfest even before that because it had become nothing but a blatant soulless money vacuum. IIRC, beer prices were pushing $10 for a pint and I'm sure they haven't gone down. Last year they started charging for parking.

2. I'm still angry about that horrendous eyesore of a restaurant they built on Hidden Peak and their expansion plans into AF.

3. If he did win, there's a good chance the story would go national/viral and reinforce Utah's perception as a Mormon backwater. I always consider that a win.

it must have been drunken snowboarders
this would never happen at Alta

Quitting beer would make me angry, too. But I do agree with #3.

An Octoberfest without beer? Sounds like an event I wouldn't bother with.

He's representing a family who's suing Snowbird over claims they were attacked by a drunken Oktoberfest mob in 2014. I wonder if he thinks pushing this story into the news will generate sympathy towards his clients.

Because Utah just isn't fukked up enough.

Probably. He knows full well that nothing can be done until July when Snowbird submits their annual license application. I don't see another reason to be pushing the issue now.
