Comments about ‘Letter: New skiing experience for one price’

The founder of Ski Our Canyons Boringly loves lift rides more than I. It's 5 not 4 lifts from parking lot to top of Daybreak, and skiing between lifts is cattracks or gentle slopes. After SkiLink where are you? The base of Solitude--Apex or Moonbeam lift, passing up great terrain at Canyons to ride up to the good stuff at Solitude on at least two more lifts. You better start back early, as it's a long winding road to Tombstone lift and over to Red Pine Lodge where you can either ride a gondola back down or take Short Cut lift to access Doc's Run to the base. Somehow I don't think this will attract many skiers, but it might be nice for the folks in multi-million dollar homes in The Colony who want to reach the better snow of Big Cottonwood Canyon without using their Mercedes. If they're serious skiers they would want to reach Little Cottonwood Canyon, but that's another project. Nope. it's a SkiLink to Nowhere and not worth selling off prime public land to foreign--or any other--developers. "Modest price" (sez who?) for meager results.

Is it REALLY too much to ask for skiers to figure out whether they want to ski Canyons or solitude for the day?

I'm a skier and I can't see why anyone would want to ride a lift/tram all day between ski areas instead of JUST SKIING!

Tom is probably in favor of the mountain coaster too. What's the next asinine proposal? How about a giant slippery slide down Little Cottonwood Canyon? These are natural areas folks, not amusement parks. Enough is enough!

I am all for connecting the ski resorts and expanded recreation

Ski-link is nothing more than a real estate sales tool

It is not what recreation enthusiasts need (in fact, a bad first link will make it harder to promote future good links)

Do it right or don't do it (ski link is not right)

"modest price" right. Right now it costs over $90 for one ticket for the Canyons, how can the addition of SkiLink make the price "modest" when ticket prices are already too expensive for most Utah families?
