Avoid Park City

Let me get this straight.

Acres and acres of pristine forest were clear-cut to carve Park City out of the beautiful Utah wilderness for basically two purposes: to coax scads of Salt Lake Valley residents to load up their four-wheel-drive sport utility vehicles with people and ski gear and putter up Parley's Canyon day in and day out all winter long, and so that the Hollywood types could climb into their private jets or a convoy of limousines every February and come to the film festival, spewing greenhouse gases all the way from 90210 to 84060.

Now the City Council wants to save the environment by having us turn off our cars while we're waiting at the drive-through?

I'll do my part by making sure I don't visit Park City unless absolutely necessary.
