So after a pretty good day at Brighton, we decided to take a visit to Park City to check out that area. We arrive to find that the Window price is $50, thats 30% off the regular price, what a bargain!
Well, maybe.
I guess this sign should have been a sign. But we came all this way, might as well check it out right?
There are only 2 lifts open, so we pick the highspeed 6-pack and take stock of the conditions
Hmm, this isnt looking so good, but we’re still optimistic, right up until we hit the top of this lift.
OMG! Okay, we’re here, we’ve gotta check it out. Yeah, this one “groomer” is made of concrete-hard icy stuff. No off-piste opportunity to be found.
I dont think we even needed the map at this point, there was really only one way down.
Bits of a terrain park are open too, but its fairly big stuff. At least these guys are having fun
After pounding the “groomers” a few times, its about time for lunch. I gotta say the rice with this chicken quesadilla was really really good. But the Draft Beer guy didnt get setup with beer yet! I had my hopes up after seeing his sign!
After lunch, Root decides his spine needs a rest, so goes off to look for a locker. I feel a disturbance in the force, and he appears shortly later exclaiming, “How much for a pack of double-a batteries?!” (as quoted from Falling Down) Apparently it cost $7 to rent a day locker!
The value for my $50 lift ticket was poor. Lunch was generally good, but kind of spendy, but not having the beer really puts a dent into whatever value was there. The $7 lockers was really over the top!
I might give Park City another chance during the prime season since the gelande seems pretty big, but the early season gets 2 out of 5 fist raising, power fighting monkeys. And it gets the 2 because the rice was that good.
