With 22" of new snow in the recent storm cycle their 34th storm of the year Abasin ran out of parking yesterday and coincidentally the last time that happened was the last Saturday in April last season after a storm cycle. So people who couldn't get parking had the option of parking down in keystone and the summit stage was running extra buses. Anyway the general manager Al who is the COO of Abasin was getting some nasty comments on social media including "your parking sucks" "you over market" and "you are an idiot".

So, lots of resorts closed, Abasin open, gets lots of snow, and parking is a shit show?  who woulda thought that?  i say, kudos to them for being open.  i'm sure everyone who made nasty comments had an idea of what they were getting into.

The people that showed up at 8 or even 9am got parking spots and I'm sure the people who showed up at 1pm after a late night flight on frontier airlines got spots as well.

Feel so bummed I spent next to no money on an awesome day and a half skiing at ABasin instead of staying home and mocking me for not spending more $.

That's how a lot of people are. It's not their fault they got there late, it's the management's fault they have no where to park.
