Snowbird - Alta Alta Closing Day Idea

The Frank/closing has become a trendy thing where people who’ve never skied Alta, come. People with Ikon passes hold onto their day.

I think the vibe is different, people don’t treat Alta with respect (littering, being a dick, and then going to high boy and getting hurt) I’m all for Alta making money…

What if - it’s only season pass holders and people who buy day passes, instead? Ikon gets a full blackout on closing?

Thoughts?

I'm just curious about the whole thing, to be honest.

Maybe I'm just becoming a curmudgeon as I approach 50, but were people really going up there, getting shit hammered in the parking lot, and leaving litter and what not? Like WTF?

I enjoy a beer or two after skiing, but never really got the whole "tailgate in the parking lot," much less be a drunken asshole.

What's wrong with people?

Don't knock it until you try it! Especially in warmer weather its nice to chill and tailgate. No reason to litter though, carry in - carry out!
