WIFI on the Electric Bus is FAST
I was riding the E-Bus this morning and brought my laptop. I always wondered what the Internet speed was. Turns out it is faster than a lot of home based wifi. Not sure what we are paying for that, but from a user perspective it is great.
Invocation for the Sundance Film Festival Visitor
Thank you oh thank you Sundance Film Festival Visitor. Thank you for the millions of dollars you bring to our community each year. Thank you for screening films, so the rest of us can watch them on Netflix. Thank you for taking every hotel room, so we can ski fresh powder. Thank you for paying …
Summit County has failed us
Summit County government has failed the populace with its decisions on Woodward at Gorgoza. As you may have heard, The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission approved a new development at the Gorgoza Sledding Park. According to the Park Record it will “include a more than 52,000-square-foot action-sports center, equipped with indoor trampolines, ramps, foam pits, pump …
We don’t need the USA Today to tell us we have good schools
Today someone sent in an anonymous tip linking to the Park Record story on USA Today ranking Park City High School as the best high school in the state. First, whoever you were, thanks. We love community feedback and appreciate ideas from the public. We usually won’t post something the Park Record has posted because …
So, this is how desperate things are
I’m glad Vail invested the $50 million in Park City when they did.

Perhaps the lack of snow is just what we needed …

How would you have voted on the I-80 wall near Jeremy Ranch?
“With great power comes great responsibility.” – Spider Man’s Uncle Ben Voltaire It’s been interesting watching the Battle for The Wall near Jeremy Ranch. If you are not familiar, because UDOT is adding a truck lane to I-80, it opened up the possibility of adding a noise abatement wall along I-80 near Jeremy Ranch. The wall …
PSA: Use Google Maps for busing information instead of the Park City Transit MyStop Mobile App
I still wouldn’t call myself a busing convert, but I had another good experience today. Today I took the Electric Express Bus from the KJ Transit Center to Old Town. There I caught a bus directly to Deer Valley. It probably took 10 more minutes than if I would have driven on my own, but …
