Thank fk for that. Almost threw up reading brutah's post.
Hope the FS works out a good or similar deal going forward. Is public comment helpful?

Skied a 3rds to susie's last night. Smooth snow (sierra windboard?) up high, then some nice breakable crust starting at about 9200-9400 or so. Survival skiing getting out of there.
Will probably stick to the collins or brighton groomers this weekend..

Parking info is live: Alta Parking | HOME
I heard previously its going to be 2 codes per passholder, but it still vague about the number on the website.
We are getting clarity about what FCFS parking remains. Did not know that ASL owns the "flagstaff Lot." But it also looks like the north side of grizzly remains open.
Looks like they're outsourcing it as expected...

Today's email:
ALTA'S PARKING RESERVATION SYSTEM WILL GO LIVE ON
NOVEMBER 3RD AT 7AM MT
Our passion is providing authentic skiing experiences in a natural mountain environment. The skiing experience on weekends & holidays has changed in recent years as skier demand has outpaced our capacity. The past few seasons, skiers have started arriving before sunrise to claim a parking spot. Others have been turned away because our parking lots have filled up on weekend & holidays. Turning around cars filled with a family, a group of friends or someone hoping to ski Alta for the first time is not the experience we want anyone to have.
We are implementing a parking reservation system on weekends & holidays to ensure that Alta skiers will have a place to park.
We understand that parking reservations represent a big change for Alta and will require more planning from our skiers. While parking reservations will be required on weekends & holidays from 8am–1pm, there are 100+ days of winter that require no parking reservations.
ALTA'S PARKING RESERVATION SYSTEM WILL GO LIVE ON NOV. 3RD AT 7AM MT:
• Qualifying Alta and Alta-Bird season passholders will receive an email prior to November 3rd at 7am with a parking reservation code. This code can be used to book free parking reservations on weekends & holidays.
• Ikon and Mountain Collective passholders and day pass purchasers can also make parking reservations starting November 3rd at 7am MT. Reservations are available for $25 per day on weekends & holiday.“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

Yea, can't find any talk of how many spots a passholder can have at once. There is a $25 fee if you don't use a parking res (and then you are frozen until you pay), so maybe it will be unlimited but will make people pay who don't actually go?

for most alta passes it will be 2 codes at a time. Use it and then another opens up. I think its one at a time for gold cards and some of the other passes.

The Cardiff Cat guy also does group trips on the road. I've seen him drop off a group of inexperienced tourons, folks who struggle with kick turns, at Georges. I don't know if the Cardiff trips are paid or just friends and family but I've also seen him up there with a Cat full of little old ladies in street clothes.
He's always friendly. That doesn't change the fact the Cat chews up the approach/exit ruining it for everyone else, not to mention he's rolling coal the entire time.

What gets me is the cat guy HAS A GROOMER HE COULD DRAG BEHIND THE CAT. He grooms the first section of the road near Donut Falls, then he pulls it up and deliberately chews up the road. Sometimes he left it on early season last year.

I think I know the dude.
Haven't really spoken to him in a couple years, but if it is, that dude's cool as fuck.
Probably isn't grooming entire way because he is rolling coal=saving a little fuel.

Just gotta say (since many here know me as a big Georgia Tech fan), it wasn't me(Shit, I never even took my winter tires off this year). On behalf of Yellow Jacket nation, I apologize for my fellow fans' bullshit. Tech grads might be smart, but the nerd book smarts doesn't help all the time.
Main chute skied great today. Great chalky snow and even the firm areas were not bad. Felt great to let the dogs out with some faster arching turns in the middle.

As a UGA grad, I too apologize for the Georgia Tech bullshit in the canyon. Some things can’t be taught.
I do appreciate the dogs reference though. Keep ‘‘em coming
Sick pic! It looks like mid season in main chute.

Lol I was definitely tempted to call ya out but didn't know if you were still checking this thread often enough to catch it. But it was probably you if you're driving around with worn down winter tires from running em all summer jk
Hope to ski with ya this year, or at the very least hang out on summit while we wait for things to soften
