Deer Valley Resort at Park City in Utah has unveiled its largest investment in capital improvements in over a decade with $8.1 million in mountain enhancements lined up for the coming 2018-2019 season.
The bulk of the spend will go on replacing the Homestake chairlift with a new, detachable, high-speed quad chairlift.
“The new chairlift will benefit skiers by cutting ride-time in half and increasing uphill skier capacity by 400 skiers per hour,” a resort spokesperson said.
The Homestake chairlift provides skier access from the Silver Lake Village to the top of Bald Eagle Mountain.
The money is also being spent on new low-energy snowmaking guns; four new Prinoth snowcats, including one Beast to add to the snow grooming fleet; replacing the ski rental shop inventory with the newest Rossignol equipment amongst other improvements.
