Skiing an empty mountain

Yesterday, my wife and I went skiing. The weather was good and the snow excellent, absolutely the perfect powder Utah is famous for. Just missing on the slopes where… people, not lots of them, but even a few of them. 

The entire mountain was empty. No one ahead of us and better yet, no one coming from behind to buzz at super-high speed. I had noticed the same rare skiers on our long Thanksgiving Holiday weekend and have surmise that given the horrific job it did all of last season, many of Park City Mountain clients have decided not to renew their season pass with the incompetent operator.

Instead of buying the Epic pass from Vail Resorts, many probably went for its Ikon competitor that added Snowbasin in addition to Solitude, Brighton, Alta, Snowbird and Deer Valley, all of them in Utah. 

Well, this is what happens when service providers “forget” to treat their clients decently!
