Is it fair to assume that the reason they park cars that way is because they have decided that it fits the most cars into the lot? If so, which is less fair; (a) somebody having to walk a maximum of 500 feet; or (b) someone being turned away because there isn't a parking spot?

I missed the part where it was mentioned that the cars are parked to have close access to the lodge, and that the lift is in a different location. It seems to me this is a classic example of not being able to please everyone all of the time.

So if the OP is one of the first to arrive, his walk would be at most a little over 300 feet more than the closest parking spot to the lift. The average would be something around 200 feet, but that assumes that the OP would get the closest parking spot to the lift each and every time if they parked cars differently.

If the OP is first to arrive, here's the actual distance from the closest parking spot to the lift. Definitely not the "500 yards" that the OP complained about. I think the OP had it right when he said, "Maybe more of a rant or pet peave than an actual problem."

IIRC Gunstock does run a shuttle bus from the parking lot to the lodge so you don't have to walk. When I'm there with wife/son I will just drop them and the gear off right up front then go park.

Wait a minute. I thought this was a sport for the physically fit. Who cares about another 12 carlength walk. Next thing you'll want them to blast all the stairs away and put in magic carpets?

What happened to page 12 ?! This thread is just starting to get good!

Ok, must have been a server glitch...

Back to the regularly scheduled bitch-fest with us shitbags... :razz:
