Child Molestors in Park City Schools
A few days ago we posted a press release from the Park City School District about a teacher that was fired for “inappropriate communications” with a student and had been taken into police custody. Bubba Brown at the Park Record filled in the blanks by telling us that a teacher was charged with: “solicitation to commit sodomy …
Hey, whatever became of…
Remember the election a few months ago? What about those allegations of electioneering charged against both sides in the school bond election? If you recall, the Park Record reported, “According to a press release issued late Wednesday by the county attorney’s office, there have been reports of school district representatives potentially using public funds to …

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
I just received an email from Vail. It was a survey about a recent visit to Park City (the resort). 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 …
Do Park City Schools Test Too Much?
My name is Julia, and I am a junior at Park City High School. Today I would like to give you a look at what my testing schedule looks like in the spring of this school year. The third week of April, I will have Galileo tests in my English, math, and science classes. The …
