concrete forms to the top of the new lift line.
The chopper also hauled away towers from
the old Chair 4, which was recently dismantled.
The
old Chair 4, a much smaller lift, was
installed back in 1978, before the Base Lodge
existed. Now the Base Lodge is the primary
portal to the mountain, and it's where most of
the resort's parking area is located. To reach
the upper mountain terrain, guests have had
to take Chair 6 from the Base Lodge, followed
by either Chair 1 to the summit or Chair 2.
The new Chair 4, dubbed the Snow Ghost Express,
will provide direct flights to the upper
terrain without that layover, and help alleviate
traffic on those other lifts.
Construction this past summer took place to create a new Chair 4. This will be the first six-pack
lift for Whitefish Mountain Resort, Montana. photo courtesy of Chad Sokol, Whitefish Mountain Resort
includes higher efficiency equipment to open
more terrain faster in the early season. In addition,
Mammoth initiated a multi-year upgrade
at Woolly's Adventure Summit by
re-orienting, expanding, and lengthening the
tube runs and installing a summer tubing surface
for year-round fun. Future phases will include
the installation of one of the longest
mountain coasters in North America, and the
addition of adventure ropes courses and a permanent
base lodge with food and beverage
services. When complete, it is anticipated that
Woolly's will become a year-round adventure
center with a variety of activities for kids of
all ages. Mammoth Mountain continues to
work on the planning and entitlement process
for the eventual redevelopment of the Main
Lodge and Mammoth Mountain Inn.

Deer Valley Resort, UT:
The renaissance of the Snow Park Village
is currently in the permitting process with
Park City Municipal. It will create a premier
arrival experience designed to transform the
base area. Plans include a reimagined plaza
and transit arrival with hospitality accommodations,
new food and beverage options, retail,
and an expansive ski beach. The project is currently
planned to break ground in 2023. New
for winter 2022 - 2023, the Burns Express
chairlift will debut on Deer Valley's Wild West
learning area. The new chairlift will connect
the Snow Park base area to Little Baldy
Mountain, providing an additional option for
skiers to navigate out of the main arrival area
and offer Ski School access to more beginner
teaching terrain. (www.deervalley.com)
Other Resort Developments
Taos Ski Valley, NM:
Taos is in the midst of a " Resort Renaissance "
worth $300 million, which began in
2019, to enhance the guest experience while
maintaining the authenticity of the unique
destination. The aim was to grow the resort
better, not bigger.
It included a frontside to
backside gondola, plus other major lift upgrades.
Snowmaking coverage has been expanded
to include 100% of all beginner and
intermediate terrain, with the addition of 30
new high-capacity tower guns along with 50
new hydrants. With consideration for all that
is environmentally friendly, Taos Ski Valley has
also invested in a new food digester to reduce
food waste and upgraded the recycling program.
Whitefish
Mountain Resort, MT:
The main highlight for the upcoming season
is the new Chair 4, the resort's first sixpack
lift. The new chair will shuttle an
estimated 2,200 guests per hour from the Base
Lodge area to the top of Inspiration Ridge, providing
a much-needed alternative route to the
upper elevations of Big Mountain. The builder,
Leitner-Poma, has poured concrete foundations
for some of the 25 towers that will support
the new lift. A Black Hawk helicopter
recently was used to carry wet concrete and
A trip on the new lift will last just seven
minutes and cover 2,200 vertical feet. From
the top, guests will be able to shred some
frontside runs or head down to Chair 5, where
they can then access all of the backside terrain.
The $10 million investment will also improve
the skiing experience in the beginner
area.
A New Utah Resort
is on the Horizon
Mayflower Mountain Resort, UT:
The largest and most important driving
force in Utah is the planned new Mayflower
Mountain Resort, which will add over 1,000
new skiable acres. In 2018, the owners of the
Mayflower Mine sold the majority of their remaining
holdings adjacent to Deer Valley Resort
to Extell Development of New York.
Extell Development had been in negotiations
with Deer Valley for several years, planning a
major expansion of the resort eastward to the
slopes overlooking the Jordanelle. The base village
will include the development of up to 5
new ski lifts, three new hotels, as well as, an
array of luxury ski-in / ski-out homesites, as
well as, a walkable commercial zone. The lifts,
runs, and snowmaking infrastructure are currently
being designed and constructed, with
the first lifts expected to be operational by the
2023-2024 ski season. Their Master Plan, expected
to be a long term, 20 to 30 year project,
includes some 3 million square feet of commercial
and residential development. It would
make it ultimately comparable to the nearby
Canyons ski area of Park City Resort in overall
size.
