4-person ski lift each. All three lifts use existing ski lift towers. Upgrades were allowed by the Wasatch-Cache Forest supervisor based on past environmental impact studies. It does concern us. However Utah's ski industry is in about as good a shape as any other, and even with Snowbird's proposal, we're not talking about big expansion.
Growth here is incremental.
This past summer Park City built a new ski lift, cleared several new runs, and installed high-efficiency snowmaking equipment. In September developers announced plans to build Deer Crest next to Deer Valley ski resort. Park City, Deer Valley, and Wolf Mountain ski resorts can expand more easily than their competitors in Salt Lake County. On the Summit County side of the mountains, resorts are mostly on private property. However, Park City citizens' groups are not happy with proposed ski area expansion in Summit County.
