Ski bus service to Cottonwood Canyons starts Sunday

Cottonwood Heights • It wouldn’t be a day of fresh powder in Utah without traffic.

“It gets to be hours waiting in the canyon, which is crazy for how small a canyon it is,” said Risa Nelson.

Many skiers try to do their part to reduce congestion and take the free ski bus.

The Utah Transit Authority’s ski bus service in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons begins Sunday. Service is scheduled to run from Nov. 26 until April 13. For the second year in a row, buses will come every 30 minutes throughout the day, a decrease in service from when they used to run every 15 minutes.

“Still an operator shortage,” said Carl Arky with UTA. “We’re still battling that. It’s getting better. We’re doing a better job of recruiting and retaining operators, but we’re still not quite back yet to the place where we can go and put more buses and more routes out there.”

UTA has made some improvements this year though: Extra buses will be deployed during busy times, like holiday weekends and powder days. UTA is also partnering with resorts to offer vanpool for employees.

He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect
