Subject: The ever famous tram to Snowbasin!

One thing Ogden needs is an attraction. Something that is different and cool enough to make people want to see it. No, I am not talking about a gigantic escalator going to nowhere (thank you Springfield and the Simpsons). I believe that a Tram would fulfill this need. I have some friends at the Eccles Conference Center. They have stated to me that many times at conferences, the last day is basically a ditch-the-conference-ski-day. Imagine if these people didn't have to drive up Snowbasin road (we all love that road in the winter!) and instead could just walk out of their hotel and catch a shuttle taking them to a tram and they could be on the mountain in less than 15 minutes. Your hotels in Ogden would be completely full.
Also imagine the summer benefits. Mtn. bikers and thrill seekers from all over would come to be able to simply go to the top of the mountain without work and be able to more easily kill themselves on the way down (sarcasm folks!). To take it one step further, you could hold one of those extreme downhill Mtn. biking events and get on ESPN or FSN. Does anybody believe that people wouldn't come then?
These are just a few of the advantages of getting a tram to Snowbasin. There is a group of citizens trying to get this to happen and make our city better. Anybody interested can contact me at dustinchapman@msn.com. Please share your thoughts here positive or negative.
