Friday saw a severe blizzard all over Park City, so I decided to stay close to home and drive to Park City Mountain (5 minutes away) for my afternoon skiing.
It snowed hard all day, and when I got to the parking lot, I noticed more traffic than usual, plus the mess created by all that new snow, but was lucky enough to get a spot.
Skiing was fabulous, there were huge crowds for a Friday, but I managed to ski in places where lines remained to a minimum. A superb day of fresh powder skiing, wind blowing and often time, zero-visibility, but that’s the way I love it.
Following my wife recommendation, I wore my Descente long coat and stayed warm all day.
It was total gridlock. Impossible to get out from the resort center and in spite of my seasoned bag of tricks I was stuck in place like the rest of the skiers and it took me a solid hour to get home, not to mention that when I got there, I had to clear a path for my car to get into the garage.
There were cars everywhere, with California, Texas and tons of out-of-state plates. Covid-19 must create a special pent-up demand for skiing and this must be part the price we have to pay for our town notoriety!
