If there is one main negative about the sport of skiing it’s its complexity and the logistics it takes to get geared up and finally be ready. Today’s blog is precisely about ease of use. In how many ski resorts can you park your car, put on your gear, then walk just a few yards and board a chairlift? Then, when ski time is over and if there’s fresh snow, glide back to the car, take off your boots, load your skis and then go home? I’m not talking of course of a slope-side location. Not very many, right? Well, this is still true for Park City, where I have been following that routine for now twenty-three winter seasons. You can’t do that at nearby resort like Deer Valley or the Canyons, even less at mega resorts like Aspen, Vail or Whistler. What is that ski-in, ski out worth to me? A whole lot; in fact, it’s the main reason why I still ski Park City Mountain Resorts after all these years.
