Parking, skiing hardest part

It used to be that skiing difficulties had to do with snow quality, coverage, slopes difficulties, crowding and affordability, but today in Park City, it’s become finding a place to park one’s car. 

I know, I should carpool or take mass-transit, but I still don’t and it’s not unusual for me to spend 15 to 30 minutes looking for a parking spot, or more often, waiting patiently for one to get free as I mostly ski in the afternoon and a few skiers that have been making turns since 9 am are ready to head back home.

So, as I cruise the large parking lot I not only look for the extremely rare vacant slot, but scan the best I can to the left and the right to see a skier and his party loading their skis, taking off their boots and extra clothing before returning home. 

Talk about a totally new set of skills I’m adding to my quiver, which goes to say that I never stop learning!
