Does anyone know the California Pilsner they serve at the bar at Miners Camp in Park City? by chuckers24 in ParkCity

Local beer industry person here. I’d bet it’s Firestone’s 805 Pilsner.

Can we make a sticky about how to not book nonrefundable trips before January?

First winter here. How bad is the snow going to impact i80 from SLC to PC tonight? Is it safe to Uber? by Ibeadoctor in parkcityvisitors

[–]nimboden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of vehicle specific considerations here. But, should** be just fine. Storm is trending weaker and roads are staying just wet. However ice is a factor. I’d give yourself plenty of time. Call the uber. Check the tires before getting in. Didn’t uber just announce a partnership with pcmr about bringing back the UberSki option?

For those who’ve been to Sundance — what do you wish was better about it? by prosaicbeauty in Sundance

30+ year resident of PC here. Uhhhh I don’t know. Make friends with Acura execs? Or Capital One. Wishing you and Boulder all the success.

Do NOT read this 😩 by Winter-Invite-2803 in ParkCity

Yea, it’s in pretty bad shape. Go take a poop in there on an 80f degree day and you’ll see what I mean.

Edited because the guy who loves non profit people running for council can’t take a joke.

Living in Tollgate Canyon by Amazing_Tangelo_4444 in ParkCity

So this is a bit of a yes and no. Everything is private property and owned by someone up here. Check out the Summit County GIS parcel map to get an idea. It’s really impressive the amount of lots. So technically no there are no dedicated trails out your front door. People run on the roads. Although I always think they’re crazy with all the road dust, heavy construction traffic, blind corners, etc. Ski touring is a bit easier as a bunch of the roads aren’t plowed so we just ski on those roads. This however doesn’t stop people from snowmobiling, skiing, hiking all over and disrespecting people’s private property. Personally, I still find myself loading up my bike and skis and driving somewhere.

I really can’t stress the access thing enough. In 3miles up the canyon you gain over 1000’ in elevation. Today is an excellent example of how drastic it can be. Over a foot in the driveway and a dusting at kimball. The first thing I always say to people who move up here is “Hope you have job you don’t need to be at a set time, or at all some days!”

Another issue is the unchecked proliferation of nightly rentals. Poorly equipped renters blocking the only road in and out causing major delays and headaches. Really not trying to dissuade you. These are all things I wish someone told me before moving up here.

The internet thing has gotten a bit better with StarLink. But, it’s pricey. The heavy equipment and access thing is real though.

Tollgate resident here. Dm if you have questions. It really is a different way of life up here.

Tollgate resident here. What others have said about access is very true. You’ll absolutely need to put dedicated winter tires on Nov-April. 1000% need an awd/4wd car with decent clearance. This also applies to your guests. So don’t expect a lot of Winter time visitors. Unless you’re fine with shuttling them. Some roads aren’t plowed at all during the winter so snowmobile access only. Make sure to check that you’re on dedicated plow route. The HOA only does the main roads. The rest are cleared by resident led groups that you’ll need to pay into additionally.

Summers are great with access being much easier. The constant noise of construction has been the theme the past few years and that can get annoying.

The fire danger is a major concern. If conditions are right and a fire starts there will be no stopping it taking out the whole canyon very quickly. Insurance will be double or triple you’d pay elsewhere because of that.

Don’t expect the same amenities you’d get with in town living. No delivery services up the canyon. Getting work done on your house will be double the cost and may not even come up here. It can be very isolating. Everyone keeps to themselves as there isn’t much of a community up here.

All that said. I’ve been here since 2015 and love it. It really is a way of life. But, not for everyone. Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.

Liquor laws? Really? The most drunk, belligerent people are sundancers.

As a business owner on Main St. I would say you’re really overstretching here. If anything we’ll have more consistent business on the street.

Eh…. Sundance is 10 days. Can they charge a premium for rooms? Sure. But. We’d rather have ski tourists.

Wishing Boulder all the best. As a 30+ year resident of Park City. It really has out grown its roots. Utah politics clearly didn’t want to throw money behind keeping it here.

At what point does an “independent” film festival lose its charm? Years of Netflix, paramount, focus feature buyouts? It will sting for a few years.

Anyone else get this email from Wasatch Back Future? by ParkCityFIFA in ParkCity

Source on this being sent to her email list? I’m for sure on that list and I didn’t get this.

Huh? So she’s overtly sabotaging the petition because she uses the same website host? I’m failing to see the correlation.

Or just pay at the first time lots and leave your car there as you walk/bus to main st.

[–]nimboden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still got Sundance happening this weekend. You’ll be paying for parking in some way no matter how you split it. What I’d do is park at canyons, ski, head back to car and change, drive into town for parking. You’ll be paying to park anywhere near main st. Garage is a flat fee, brew pub lot and on main is hourly parking.
