the Grand Tetons...............How apropos for a government-worshipping cult capital......

The First Rule of Free Parking Club....

You would think that the resorts would have AN EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT JUST FOR THEM...............

Honestly I doubt that those mercenary materialists spend one second contemplating the beauty of nature. Too busy planning the next grift and power grab.

I've been there several times, but never winter for skiing. The fishing in the area is incredible. I've hunted elk in the Tetons and surrounding wilderness areas. It's beautiful in the summer - Signal Lake and the Snake River are awesome. It's truly Gods Country compared to the armpit of America that I live in.

The shuttle for resort employees has been free for as long as I can remember, but if you consider the cost of parking onsite @ $40 a day - the minimum wage guy hauling the trash isn't going to be able to make the math work unless they park off-site. The shuttle lot isn't exactly close by, so walking from there isn't realistic (especially in peak season). If the shuttle won't run - the Resort won't have employees when they need them. The TVA should be solving that if they want the carrot to be effective.

They aren’t kidding about the absolutely ridiculous traffic on 22 / 390.
You’d think you were in Los Angeles.

You practically are.................

Snow is great in the right quantities. I like the 5-8” variety that melts after 3-4 days. Especially if I can sled on it in my backyard. (Yes, we have a sledding hill back there! It’s a blast!)

[Red Badger]

Our beaches are as white as snow.

That’s close enough for me..................

I love the sugar white sand where you live. That orange brown stuff they call sand on the Atlantic coast will never be beach sand for me. Fools others, but not me.

[Red Badger]

It’s way cooler as well....................

If instead, a user were to also use the online app ParkWhiz to prepay within the grace period, they could choose that “exit for free” option without actually leaving until the end of the day.

That's not a hack where the end row of parking spots doesn't have meters... That's just outright fraud/theft. If parking costs 50% of the daily pay, maybe start parking on the side street outside of the lot or something.

Colorado has better skiing
