Last week marked the opening of Park City Mountain’s 60th season. I was there for opening day, though there was no interest in getting the first chair. We hit it just right, got our four relatively uncrowded runs down the white ribbon on Home Run, and called it a day. This is really a pretty typical opening. After last year, expectations are unrealistically high. This is really normal it will come. Patience.
Paul Stokes, the Union Pacific Railroad’s local station agent for Park City, received an interesting telegram from William Hynes (Union Pacific manager of freight and passenger operations, Western Division) in late 1935 .
