Today’s Kimball Junction car gathering likely spread Covid further into Summit County
People don’t give a crap. That should worry you for this year’s Park City Winter. Today, this was shown by the hundreds of car enthusiasts who gathered, mostly unmasked, in the Visitor Center Parking Lot in Kimball Junction. As they stood in groups and then moved from car to car, you could see the virus …
Will you take a bus to ski this winter?
As we approach Labor Day, many of our thoughts turn toward skiing. Usually, Parkites make ski-lesson and season pass decisions around the end-of-summer holiday. This year it is more complicated. If you are an Epic Pass holder from last year, you’d probably get about 20% off on your pass this year due to Vail’s earlier-than-planned …
Hideout Utah is a hell-hole that no one should be associated with
Hideout, the town on the banks of the Jordanelle Reservoir, on the Wasatch County side of the map, is attempting to annex parts of Summit County near the Richardson Flat parking lot. Summit County is fighting the effort in court. Basically, the town of Hideout didn’t plan adequately for services for its residents and now …
There has not been an increase in students at Park City schools this year
Coming into this year’s school year, rumors were rampant about the number of new kids coming to Park City. The narrative was that people were fleeing their Coronavirus-infused hellholes to come to idyllic Park City – and they were bringing their kids with them. At one point I heard there were going to be 700 …
Park City bus ridership has not returned to pre-covid levels yet
One of the signs that Park City “is back” will be bus ridership. We aren’t there yet and are barely above the complete-COVID days of April. For the last 30 days, we are averaging about 1.8 people on each bus. Around 8 AM and 5 PM we may get up to 5-6 people per bus, …
Summit County should charge non-residents for trails use
We have been dancing around the issues for years. Summit County residents fund our trails through property taxes. Most trails are managed through Basin Rec. Tonight, I sat through a painful Snyderville Basin Planning Commission discussion about whether Basin Rec should be able to add parking stalls near Pheasant Lane near Creekside on the north-side …
Now is not the time to change the rules on the Kimball Junction Tech Park
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. LEO TOLSTOY, WAR AND PEACE Should we allow the Tech Park by the Skullcandy building to be turned into a hotel, 900 apartments, 200 more rental units, and retail? That is the question in front of the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission. That question will ultimately go …
Tomorrow’s the final day to enroll for remote-learning
Smoke ’em if you got ’em. Tomorrow’s the “final” day to enroll in remote learning in the Park City School District. If your child will be choosing this option, you need to complete the Remote Learning Form. More information on remote learning at the PCSD can be found here. If you have been on the …
Israel’s school reopening failure shows Park City Schools it’s all about how you execute
If you are teacher who will be teaching this fall… If you are an administrator who will be running schools… If you are a leader in the Park City School District… There is one article you should read today in the New York Times. “When Covid Subsided, Israel Reopened Its Schools. It Didn’t Go Well.“ …
The Utah Governor’s guidelines on school reopening borders on insane
Ok Park City Teachers, now I’ll forgive you if you strike, just don’t come to school, or lobby hard to be one of the remote-teachers. In what may be some of the craziest talk I’ve heard from a Utah official (and that says something), Governor Herbert today provided 102 pages of guidelines on reopening schools. …
