Vail’s $50 mil. plan to combine Park City and Canyons
By Reid Singer, Outside
On Monday, Vail Resorts unveiled a $50 million capital plan for upgrades to Park City Mountain Resort for the 2015-16 ski season.
Subject to approval by both Summit County and the City of Park City, the upgrades would include combining the ski area with nearby Canyons Resort. Visitors would ride a high-speed, two-way gondola between the two resorts to access the largest single ski area in the United States, with more than 7,300 acres of skiable terrain.
Efforts to combine the two adjacent ski areas will coincide with other major infrastructural improvements at PCMR, which Vail Resorts acquired only a few months ago following a three-year dispute that began when the ski areas’ previous operator neglected to file the necessary paperwork to renew its lease with its landlord.
