Yet, Yet, Yet, Yet Another Reason Park City Sucks
I know you are probably sick of hearing “another reason” Park City Sucks. Yet, every time I see a new area where Vail has co-opted the Park City name, it adds to the breadth of the ramifications from their decision to use “Park City” for everything they do here. The latest comes to us from …

In hindsight what was the perfect place for the Sundance UberCopters to land?
With all the hubbub over WHETHER the Sundance UberCopter could land in Park City or Summit County, did we miss the more obvious question? Where was the perfect place for UberCopters to land? The Park City Film Studio. Nothing is going on there (that we know of) since Big Oil departed. They have plenty of land. They could …
If We are Going to File a Restraining Order Against Uber for Helicopter Flights, Let’s Start Enforcing Everything On the Books
If you’ve hiked Round Valley on a Saturday morning, it’s likely you’ve seen a white helicopter fly into town and set down in one of the housing areas to the northwest of Round Valley. In the last 3 years, I’ve seen the private helicopter (not to be confused with the medical choppers that land at …
Aftermath of an Avalanche Cannon
We’ve all heard the Avalanche Canons go off around Park City, in an attempt to reduce avalanche danger. However, I’ve never seen the “aftermath.” I’m not sure if this video from Saxon Switzerland, where they want to ensure a road is protected from avalanches, is typical, but it is hypnotic.
Yet Another Reason Park City Sucks

My wife had actually skied at Canyons, instead of me, but I guess I’ll forgive them their inability to distinguish between members of a family. It reads: Yeah, no confusion there. “Thanks for your recent …
I’m Sticking By My Call for an Economic Downturn
A few days I posted entitled The Canaries in the Coal Mine are Telling Us To Take Notice indicating that we may be in for a rough economic patch ahead. From the responses in comments, via email, and in stores around down I can tell FEW PEOPLE share my view. It was almost as if I posted …
Should It Be HARDER to Live in Park City?
Days like today are interesting. They are hard. It’s hard to drive. It’s hard to get to work. It’s hard to shovel. It’s hard for the plows. It’s hard to get your kids to school. It’s hard to get to the slopes. It’s hard. Yet, from a community perspective, it’s also almost perfect. You can’t yell at …
PSA: Beware US Marshall and IRS Phone Scams
We’ve had a report of calls from an 801 area code, claiming to be the US Marshall’s Office related to an outstanding warrants, demanding that fines be paid. This is similar to the typical calls received this time of year from people claiming to be the IRS, demanding money. Do not fall for the scams. …
