New Ski Shelters and Ski/Snowboard Organizers

UTA has added several new ski shelters to help riders stay warm as they wait for the bus. A heated shelter with lights was constructed near Snowbird’s Cliff Lodge in partnership with the resort. UTA also added a ski shelter at the Park & Ride lot at 8200 S. Wasatch Blvd. and replaced the existing structure at the Park & Ride lot on 6200 S. Wasatch Blvd. with a new 16-foot shelter.

We’ve also installed new ski and snowboard organizers on each ski bus. These organizers fit inside the ski/snowboard bins and keep equipment from getting scratched and tangled. They were created by UTA body shop employee Tyler Judd and feature one of 10 custom ski or snowboard designs.
