No idea about the bird. But pretty sure Alta has just barely broken 6k a few times
I dunno, looks like another slow weekday to me at the Bird.
You know it's gonna be an all time day when the ift terminal have 1.6 inches on them. Well worth the wait I'm sure.
Interesting that Vail is moving away from reservations, but we're about to have the first season with parking reservations at Alta -_-
Anyone hear additional details? I think the system is supposed to open up next month...
I'm happy with the way Solitude does it. Pay for a season parking pass. Unless the lot is full, you have a space without wasting time to pay each time that you visit. I would do the same at Collins. However, I ski the cottonwoods weekdays only, and the lot is never full. .... maybe only 2% of the time on weekdays.

I’m extremely unhappy with how solitude does it. I pay $$$ for a fucking annual parking pass and am not guaranteed a spot. My skiing is impacted quite regularly by this as I live 5 min away and am a very opportunistic skier with specific time windows to do so on any given day. I can’t go skiing at solitude on a powder day during my east coast lunch break anymore. (Yeah first world problem for sure but that’s what we’re talking about here, right?)
Solitude should have a section in the lot for annual parking Passholders or some sort of reservation system so that A user can be guaranteed to have a spot when they show up.
The way Snowbird does this seems to work fine and hell they don’t even charge!!!
Edit to add: LOL on parking lot not full on weekdays. On any given week day powder day Solitude‘s parking lot is completely full at 8:30. Come on now, do you even big cottonwood???
Maybe, all I know is that I skied Solitude 12-15X last year, and never had a problem. Granted, I either leave my house in PC by 8:15 or wait until 11:30
Check that, the one time that I arrived there at 10:00am on a Pow day, I was shut out and had to ski PC. My fault for being lazy on a pow day morning. Usually, the lower lot is wide open, and I mostly park w/in 40 yards of Moonbeam

I rip the groomed on tele gear
Before it gets too out of hand, note that parking reservations at Alta are weekends and holidays only. Yay me! I don't ski either inbounds unless at Pow Mow.

snowbasin to add 300 rooms of lodging and full village area

yeah but a place like snowbasin doesnt have anything but the mountain and it may attract more multi pass holders? I know I always heard Earl never wanted beds there, but maybe I heard that wrong. Kids in charge now either way and I don't think any are interested in skiing. Why not another park city? Maybe it will take some of the load off BCC/LCC?
