Another lousy write-up for Park City

My wife told me there was an article about Park City in the current November issue of Ski magazine. So I jumped on it, and discovered that the article written by Samantha Berman wasn't as bad as the comments made by Jeremy Pugh in the previous issue, but still was clearly a mixed bag of positive and negative, suggesting that the place was big, confusing and hard for skiers to navigate.
Of course, Jeremy Pugh's brilliant intellect chimed in, suggesting that “you needed to spend some time at the kitchen table with the trail map”. I assume Mrs Berman and her family were put up free of charge by Park City so she could write her piece and that Mr. Pugh gets a comp season pass...

Unless the Park City General Manager doesn't raise hell with this article when he reads it, he should get his paycheck from his employer's competitors, unless he is capable of turning a negative into a positive and follow the advice I offered him to propose a one-day "Discovery Tour" of his giant resort under the guidance of his ski school staff, so new guests can familiarize themselves with the resort as they get into town...
