Free Utah Transit Authority buses and trains in February 2022
All UTA fares are free for month of February in effort to improve Utah’s air quality
This is a test to see if it makes sense to have UTA buses and trains be free all the time.
For any skiers planning trips to SLC in February, UTA's new light rail station at the airport is now in service and UTA serves most of the resorts.

Didn’t realize IKON Pass meant free public transit to some resorts there. Will have to keep that in mind for next season.
I may try to go without a car to Park City this season, just to see how it goes.

But both the Summit County and Park City transit systems are free all the time and tend to have very frequent service.

What is your budget? You will have to pay for parking at resorts. And if you rent a vehicle, make sure you rent one that is good in snow and slick roads. But those type of vehicles can be really expensive to rent. But nonetheless needed; March can be wildly uneven in the weather department.

We are staying downtown SLC at a hotel. three of us, 2 adults, 17 yo teen. Wed are renting from National, so, we get to pick.....from whatever is there.
There for 8 days, but probably skiing only 3 with trips elsewhere like hiking, Great Salt Lake, snowmobiling, Olympic Park. So we will have a car.
Given the cost of skiing, the extra $25 won't be killing me. But sounds like it may depend on the weather?
