Letter: More Olympic costs?
Huzzah! Ski season! Well, sort of.
If you survive the curves of Ogden Canyon, note the drops and humps on the connector road between Trappers Loop Road and Snowbasin. We were assured UDOT was smart enough to build a road across unstable geology. The old Snowbasin Road, having been functionally abandoned for twenty years, is in even worse shape.
All to get to a downhill course that’s so marginal no races have been run there since the 2002 Winter Olympics. With not enough parking.
Oh, hold on, we have time to build a gondola! That’s working so well for Little Cottonwood Canyon.
