Dave Fields, Snowbird president and general manager: 'Thirty years ago, we were fighting against light passenger rail in the Salt Lake Valley using many of the same arguments against gondola.'
This last week was yet another reminder of the beauty that surrounds us, as the fall hues hit their peak in the canyons. Hundreds of Utahns waited in traffic to enjoy the gem of nature that is in our backyard. It’s a sight we want our grandchildren to enjoy too, and we have the opportunity to get people out of their cars and improve the canyon experience for everyone – instead of locking the next generation out behind us.
Both Snowbird and Alta have implemented and supported temporary fixes to the safety and congestion issues we face as part of daily operations. Before UDOT’s EIS even started, Alta Ski Area began a three-year traffic analysis using transportation data company StreetLight Data to determine how many cars that entered the canyon ended up at Snowbird and Alta.
While helpful in the short-term, our efforts and the phasing being recommended by UDOT, are short-term tactics which have already been tried to deal with current population but turn a blind eye to Utah’s future growth.
