Bobstandard's JournalAlta, Utah ski area can't run lift due to Covid
Alta Ski Area outside Salt Lake City Utah can’t run it’s Wildcat lift due to an outbreak of Covid among their staff.
Many ift operators and other employees live in employee housing at the ski area in dormitory style accommodations, with two or more to a room, and shared shower and lavatory facilities. A quickly spreading Covid outbreak has affected so many employees that they are unable to staff the Wildcat Lift, one of two main lifts that take skiers from the base of the ski area up the mountain.
Tickets at alta are $179.00 per day. No discount is being offered. The parking lot ($25 for day skiers, reservations required) is full. Lift lines are long.
Tickets at Aspen Snowmass in Colorado are $204.00. Tickets at Deer Valley, near Park City, Utah are $249 per day.
He seeks money to insulate from the future

Money, big money, and favors from powerful friends may insulate The very wealthy from a lot of that. Joe is wealthy but not thousand-acre-ranch in Montana wealthy. Not owns-most-of a Hawaiian island wealthy. He wants to get as close to that as he can and this is his way of doing it.
