Well, it sounds like more picnic tables and large umbrellas for the masses! But seriously, I'm thinking Alterra will put window dressing on the problem as long as the public keeps buying the Ikon pass and filling up the parking lot, why spend for CapEx improvements? It's about investor returns for KSL. I do get a kick out of the irony that is the description for Alterra; A hospitality company....

Tesla.
Am-holes
I know they have monsoons in the sub-continent, maybe they're just not used to cars developed at the Nurburgring?

If you vet a list like this http://lostskiareas.wikidot.com you'll see that about 2/3 of that list never ever existed, and most of the rest were rope tows up for a year or two 80 to 60 years ago.
About the only places that really ever existed were Pilchuck and Milwaukee.

You’d be surprised at the number of small areas in the west that still operate, most of them aren’t cool enough for most people to get any attention. I’ve been skiing some of these places while on road trips the last couple years, there’s still $40 lift tickets and $3 beers out there

TGR 2 Months Ago: OMFG! ICON BETTER FIX THIS PARKING PROBLEM WTF!
TGR Today: WTF! THEY ADDED MORE PARKING! STUPID ICON!
Outside of the shitter line and Gondy line in the AM, and chair 6 and Northway on powder days, they really don’t have a crowding problem on the hill. Their problem is getting to the hill. At least they are trying to do something about that.

Haven’t skied Crystal in years. Are Fridays noticeably less crowded than Saturdays? Lately at Mammoth Fri is as bad as Sat.

I was that guy calling to complain about the way they are prioritizing reservations. Their response was basically acknowledging it was a shitty situation and that the solution was to increase the amount of Ikon reservations allowed each day. I think that is a good idea but the real solution would be to not sell day tickets when passholder reservations are full.
They also said that Ikon (Alterra) was setting the reservation quotas and not Crystal Mountain. I don't see the distinction between the two but maybe I just don't get it.
