5/22/2023 0 Comments Park city time shares![]() Chase opened a lounge in the middle of Main Street for Sapphire Reserve cardholders. It looked like the buildings had all been wrapped in different colored lights with huge signs. Pop-up stores and clubs came into being almost overnight. Of course, downtown was buzzing with people. The other effect I noticed was a fairly swift transformation of Main Street. Then a local told me it’s a great week to ski since so many of the visitors are basically film geeks and they go nowhere near the snow. The ski hill was oddly uncrowded, and I thought that was odd. Knowing the overlap, we planned ahead and were able to get restaurant reservations. Historically, we have avoided being in Park City during this time because food and lodging were difficult to get and I figured the slopes would be crowded. Our second week ended with the kickoff of the Sundance Film Festival. Lucky for us, the historic Egyptian Theater in the middle of Main Street was in full swing and I was able to score a couple of tickets to see KT Tunstall solo in this intimate venue for only $35/each! Since Diana was unable to ski, I looked for some other entertainment we could enjoy together. This year we were really glad we had the AWD car because we needed it. It all worked out and we drove off with another nice car for the remainder of our time in the mountains. Even so, only a few had all-wheel drive, so I had to negotiate to get an AWD for the modest price I was paying. The status I’ve earned by renting a lot of cars from Hertz lets me pick from many SUVs. I was able to drop off all of my many bags at the second timeshare before turning in the first car. When it came time to swap for the next car, I chose to rent a mid-size car because it was quite a bit cheaper. ![]() The first rental was specifically for an all-wheel drive SUV, which is a must in snow country, as far as I’m concerned. We decided to do the swap in the time between when we were forced to check out of the first timeshare at 11 am and when we were allowed to check in to the second timeshare at 4 pm. This meant I would need two separate car rentals. We planned to spend five weeks in the Rockies skiing this season, which is too long to rent a car and still be able to use the Chase credit card auto rental coverage.
