Where Was “Park City” in 2014?
It’s interesting watching the battle brewing over Vail’s trademark application of the words “Park City.” According to the Park Record, over 50 entities have, or are preparing to, challenge Vail’s trademark application. As long time readers will note, the Park Rag created a website in January called parkcitysucks.com when we became fed up with the …
Hope Your Out of Town Family Isn’t Planning on Skiing Park City Next Year
I find it hard to believe that Park City will actually cost $175 a day next year; however, it is what is currently listed … and it IS in the same ballpark as Beaver Creek was this year. So, who knows.
More On the Park City Survey (not the PARK CITY SURVEY) … but the Park City® Survey
As you probably know, I think Park City Sucks… or rather the name Park City sucks (for Vail to use for their resort). A while back I wrote about a survey I received after my wife skied at Park City. I noted that a survey of “how my day was at Park City” just added 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 …
Damn the Torpedoes Full Speed Ahead

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 …
Another Example of Why Park City Sucks
This morning I was doing some research and simply typed Park City into Google search. What appears? At the top you get a snow report for Park City (the resort). The whole upper right hand is a company profile for Park City (the resort). Note, it doesn’t look like it’s a paid result. It is the just …
Park City Sucks
In late December I wrote a column on how Park City may have made a big mistake by letting Vail use the term Park City for their ski resort. Since that time I’ve done research, thought more about the topic, and frankly become more upset that our community is now forever tied to a Vail ski resort name. …
Like Chair Lifts Falling From Heaven
We know the opening of Park City Mountain wasn’t great, but we do have one thing to be thankful for… at least our chairlifts didn’t fall out of the sky. It appears that on Sunday, at Vail’s Heavenly resort in Tahoe, a chair lift did just that. SF Gate reports that “Nearly 70 people were evacuated …
Park City May Have Made Big Mistake By Not Fighting Vail’s Use of the Mark “Park City”
I was writing an earlier column on how bad The Resort Formally Named PCMR (TRFNPCMRCANYONS) had handled this year’s first snow storm. It was the first time I’d written on the resort, since Vail combined two of our local ski hills. A few months back, I heard talk on KPCW about Vail’s use of the …
