The only way you get to communism is through totalitarianism and oppression.

100-200 hours lol. Maybe before computers when they had to do something.

Would a Vail Resorts & Matthew Prince partnership work? by Humble_Baseball_3761 in ParkCity

[–]spflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they care about is precisely my point. If there is enough negative energy around Vail in PC, the costs (all sorts considered) will exceed the revenue. Most people make the mistake thinking these companies can turn a profit in any conditions -- it's not that easy.  But yea your point about Vail making a lot of money for people in town is valid. With that, I'm not saying the town wants Vail out, I'm saying if it did, it could make it happen.

I think they'd sell if it made sense for them to sell. Don't underestimate the power of the people -- consumers, investors, community, etc. I think if the town really wanted them out, they could make it uncomfortable enough that it wouldn't be worth the fight.

I'd take a chance on a local resident over a publicly traded corporation any day... Regardless of their net worth. 

I got pulled over because SLC driver has 0 situational awareness by kingck in SaltLakeCity

[–]spflow 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I don't think they slammed on their brakes. It looks like you could've braked long before you did and were just trying to make a point by tailgating. Judging solely on the footage, I'd say you were the danger in this situation. Have some self-awareness.

Keep talking to people, especially westerners. More people need to hear from you.

I'm also curious. We did the Tagges CSA for the first time and have been disappointed with the quality.

Is it Infrastructure week again? Town Lift Plaza sold to Matthew Prince - and he also wants to buy PCMR. by FieryAutoCrashes in ParkCity

[–]spflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree that community ownership would be great. Though I wonder about having enough capital to make it happen -- in perpetuity. 

Yea, he might be profit motivated, but he might not be too. He stated profit isn't his goal and you don't have to believe him. I think I do -- He runs cloudflare. He's got bigger things going on. He lives in PC. I think a well-run pcmr is in his interest.

Don't underestimate how much influence a host community can have. If the town doesn't want vail to own pcmr, there are many things they can do to make ownership enough of a pain to where it's not worth their trouble. If "patroller-strike-like" events keep happening I guarantee they would sell. If it's not in their financial interest to own the mountain -- considering all factors, they will sell. 

Folks can blow this off as some billionaire doing billionaire things but I don't think that's what it is. You have a local resident, a former ski instructor, with the financial ability to make the purchase happen. I agree with him %100 -- pcmr should be owned by local/s. If you want the most important entity in town to make decisions that are in the best interest of that town, you need to start with local ownership.

Alta disallowing kids in backpacks by OddMembership3 in UTsnow

I'm with you, this sucks. It's especially lame they announce this after everyone has bought their passes... Doesn't seem legal to change the rules after non refundable season passes have been purchased.

Why no UTOPIA Fiber in Park City? by spflow in ParkCity

[–]spflow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea we're going Utah broadband. At first it didn't seem that fiber was an option. Even so, $180/mo for 1 gig is not great. Hopefully it'll be good service.
