The Park City School District’s grand experiment continues
Do you remember your high school grade point average? How about your college GPA? The concept of a GPA and an F to A grading-scale is what most of us grew up with and has been around over 70 years. There is even a saying about that, “A students work for the B students at …
Snowbasin is on Epic Pass Next Year
Good news. Your Epic Pass will provide access to Snowbasin next year. Maybe that will reduce pressure on PCMR/Canyons… but I doubt it. It likely adds some folks north of Salt Lake who will pack parking lots in Park City more than ever. It looks like 7 days at Snowbasin for Epic Pass holders and …
Google Maps update makes riding Park City buses much easier
Understanding which Park City bus to take can be confusing. For those who ride the same bus every day, it probably seems simple. However, for those of us taking different routes, once or twice a week, it can be hard. What do the bus colors mean? What is inbound versus outbound? How do I know …
The newest issue with Kilby Road
Just when you thought it was safe to back in the water… new Kilby Road issues have surfaced. Since its inception, Kilby Road has been a problem. Kilby Road is the road that runs from Fresh Market, at the base of Pinebrook, to Walmart. The curves that were created to slow traffic cause traffic to …
We’ll miss you Robert Redford
Each year I tune into Sundance’s opening press conference. I love the Q&A with Robert Redford. He tells it like it is. This year Mr. Redford opened the festival by saying “This press conference has been going on for 34 years. Having done this for 34 years now, I think we are at a point …
Give the Ecker Hill Park and Ride a shot. It may make your ski day even better.
Those of you who follow the Park Rag know I can be skeptical of our bus system. I don’t think we, as a community, are people who embrace the bus. Yet, if the bus experience is better than a car, you may be tempted to try it. That is what I hope you’ll find when …
To those of you skiing, I salute you
For those of you who could sneak out of work and capture some Utah Powder, I am jealous. I hope it was awesome. Every time I look from my office window and see the snow going sideways, I think of this magnificent winter song by Matt Pond PA.
What Park City needs is a little patience
It’s funny how 18 inches of snow can destroy a community — especially a mountain community. People are pissed. Why aren’t our roads plowed better? Why is traffic so bad? Why wasn’t school closed? Why am I the only one who can drive? Where did the idiots come from? Where are the snow plows? I get it. I …
Thanks for the support
A few days ago my wife and I were discussing the election. She turned to me and said, “It could have been worse. You could have got fewer write-in votes than Grizzley the Philadephia Flyers Mascot.” For those unaware, I ran for Summit County Council as a write-in candidate. In the end, I received 1,159 …
Top 10 Suggestions for Homestead Road
Homestead Road construction between Pinebrook and Jeremy Ranch is a disaster. While we usually don’t like to tell people what to do, it seems the contractors doing this work may have never done road construction before. So, we thought we’d offer some advice: Don’t begin construction at 8:00 AM, when everyone is going to school. …
