Future Wasatch Transit?

Car traffic has become a major problem with all Utah ski resorts and particularly up Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood and Parley’s Canyons.

Too many skiers inside too few cars, not enough roadways, shrinking parking spaces, no good mass transit and on snowy days, a real mess.

Over the years, many ideas have been bouncing around, but none satisfactory or well enough develop to coalesce into a productive debate and some concrete solutions.

From tunnels, to trains to gondolas or perhaps a futuristic hyper-loop, all solutions have been developed.

Unfortunately, there never was an overall starting thought process that should have been made by analyzing the origin of skiers (airport arrivals, different Salt Lake Valley areas, Wasatch back population, etc.), looking at a Google earth perspective map and listing all the possible transportation options or schemes.

This work is what must be done and has yet to be formulated so a productive evaluation can take place.
