Personally - I'd rather rely on my ability to get to the mountain/in-line before others versus my ability to click "reserve parking spot" on a web page seconds after it goes live. Not to mention the risk of people reserving a parking spot and then no showing.

Yea except it sounds like UDOT is well aware of your and everyone else's plan to arrive early and are planning to close the road more often to counter your plans.

Also I suspect they will close the canyon when parking caps out like they've been doing for the past couple of seasons.

I know one thing for certain: the parking lot apres scene is gonna get wild this season!

Vibes for all the unfried cops that will get to play canyon toll and parking lot attendants this winter

I'd like to rely on my ability to get up canyon at 5AM too but quite frankly it's easier to make a reservation on the internet and then drive to go skiing at a more normal hour. Especially with UDOT playing an unknown factor.

If lift or parking reservations were required and I didn't get one for a particular day I wanted to ski oh well. At least I'd know and could go touring elsewhere. Instead of having to play the game every weekend and pow day from xmas through march.

[Dantheman]

yeah I’m with you on this

So says the insomniac freak

[schindlerpiste]

I wonder how they will handle re-fills (i.e. skiers who are done for the day at 11:30, and skiers who don't arrive until 11:00-12:00)?

just keep people waiting in line all day.

some days you ski, some days you sit in traffic for 8 hours. who can say.

So LCC won't change much is what you are saying?

[skifishbum]

It's lookin like driving up the bcc parking in the otzilgarage
And hwy2210 out
Or 9am Millie up n out the tlp trade route skinner to grizz
Is gonna be easier than driving the 210 or waiting on the waiting game

[SJG]

I normally leave LCC at around noon, I bet I can get $30 for the spot many days.

thats the funny part about so much of the criticism. most of the bitching is about situations which already happen.* they are basically announcing business as usual.... ever noticed the past few years that even on the biggest days you see an initial rush but then ski right on to the chair for the rest of the day from the time you saw the lot fill up?

*biggest difference this season being <=50% capacity on UTA busses with no increase in number of busses

[whyturn]

The Tanner Hall movie was interesting and not what I expected. More of a lifestyle piece and less Jibby skiing. Still some of that of course and great to hang with dibs after his long day at the tent.

So...
Game changer the last 24 hrs.
Hope Hicks taking the silver bullet.
I know covid shit is over in the padded room,
But,
Our odds just went way up to spin bull wheels and keep 'em spinning.
Didn't y'all breathe easier today?
Even with your M95?
I sure did.
Karma is a bitch, no?

[F#*k you cat]

Headed up to Jackson to check on the new Andrew and the server closet. Glad to report that the server closet door is still open and the fan is running. Unsure about the new Andrew. No one has seen him in quite a while. Reckon he is out on the pass.

Cannot wait to hear about the "pandemonium" at the park and rides, with the occasional fist fight for who should get on 'first' - jolly good show to come

[wasatch_carpetbagger]

Thayer really has me by the balls.... just seeing an orange bar makes me drool...

[D-Roc]

I hear ya... Thayer is the Wasatch's own Shoresy... 'Jus' givin yer balls a tug'

[detrusor]

Love that show.

Can I get a rec? Oldest son EWGjr needs to mount some bindings in SLC. He just started at UofU. Transportation is possible but close is still better. Any good places you trust that have reasonable prices?

And he can’t mount his own damn bindings cause he is almost certainly drunk.

L9 talk to skifishbum

L9 talk to skifishbum

Level 9 has mounted a few pairs for me.

[Phall]

Closest to the u is wasatch touring. Helped me out of a bind with some dynafits in the past. L9 just a bit farther downtown.

yeah I used to live a block from Wasatch Touring and have had a couple pairs of skis mounted there. they always did a great job, not the cheapest in town or the fastest turnaround but it’s close by and a nice shop.
