Letter: Instead of the gondola, how about instituting reservations for ski areas?

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) A skier makes some turns at Alta Ski Resort, on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023.

Today I’m thinking about the stupid gondola idea. When you go to a Utes game, you have to buy a ticket and seating is limited. The same is true for movies, concerts, plays, camping, etc. Why shouldn’t there be a limited number of skiers and why can’t they make reservations?

Why do we taxpayers always have to pay the bills to enrich the likes of Snowbird and Alta and the others proposing stupid projects?

By the way, why are ski tickets so expensive that the average person can’t afford them, on top of paying for their equipment, etc.?

What do we get out of pandering to the rich?
