Dear Lord, where to start. Please tell the haters to stop hating. OK, OK, that s too general. Try this: Tell the people in Idaho that Trump didn t win the election. We know, that s really not how you work, Lord, but if you can part the Red Sea, this shouldn t be such a big deal. Jesus preached love and understanding, so like, Lord, what is with the evangelicals who espouse hate and that America without guns is not America, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. And QAnon? Democrats eating babies? It would be funny, Lord, but they believe it. They prefer a false prophet to Baby Eaters, and who can blame them? The Bible is full of tales where people are led astray by others who are up to no good. The Good Book doesn t come right out and call them Republicans, Lord, but like you ve always said, if the sandal fits. .We know, that s Old Testament, but still. Our new shepherd, Joe Biden, has big problems to solve: the pandemic, the economy, the climate, Ted Cruz . it s a long list. As you know
Samantha Smith: Ban private cars in Little Cottonwood Canyon
Only better bus service will cure the gridlock on the road to ski resorts.

The solution to the gridlock plaguing Little Cottonwood Canyon isn’t exciting, or even particularly novel.
Sleek and expensive proposals are gaining traction with leaders, including picturesque gondolas or a cogtrain up the steep canyon. Neither of these proposals, nor a proposal for expanded bus service within the canyon, grapples with the real problem: the inevitable bottleneck leading up to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, regardless of whether there are trains, gondolas or buses heading up the canyon.

COTTONWOOD CANYONS, Utah â On Monday afternoon, thousands of vehicles were trying to exit Little Cottonwood Canyon as snow started to fall in the middle portion of the roadway. Some drivers told Fox 13 it took them over three hours to get from Alta to the base of the canyon.
Multiple accounts from those on the road said that the cars involved with the numerous slide-offs causing delays, were not in compliance with the traction law put into effect around 4 p.m.
To hit the slopes later, hit reserve now

Last February, about three weeks before covid-19 shut the country down, I met my longtime best friend in Steamboat Springs, Colo., where we skied for four blissful days - one at the resort and three with Steamboat Powdercats. This was our annual us-only ski trip - no husbands or kids - and it was sublime. Days were filled skiing bottomless powder runs, thanks to a blower storm that preceded our arrival by only a few hours. At night we shouted ourselves hoarse alongside throngs of locals at the to
