Park City Mountain Resort<\/a> (PCMR), Utah, finally gained approval for two major lift upgrades for Silverlode and Eagle, which have been in talks since 2021. <\/strong>The Park City Planning Commission voted<\/a> unanimously on Wednesday, May 27, in support of the lift projects. The Silverlode six-pack will be upgraded into an eight-pack express. The Eagle triple and Eaglet lifts will be removed, making room for the new Eagle Express six-pack with a mid-station for lapping beginner and intermediate terrain. Both lifts will be built by Doppelmayr. Gaining this approval represents the end of a four-year-long dispute. There is no projected opening date for either lift at this time.<\/p>\n

The approval process for these lifts has been long and challenging. <\/strong>The resort first proposed the lift upgrades in 2021, which the Planning Commission approved for the 2022-23 season. But that wasn\u2019t the end of it. Local citizens\u2019 group appealed the decision, stating the resort didn\u2019t share enough information regarding the impact of these upgrades on the Comfortable Carry Capacity, which is the number of guests the resort can efficiently manage on a busy day. The appeal process dragged on for years, with residents complaining about the resort\u2019s long lift lines and parking issues. To address these concerns, PCMR successfully implemented a new parking system with paid and reservation options on the Mountain Village side. The delays caused PCMR owner, Vail Resorts, to ship the lifts to Whistler Blackcomb, where they were installed and opened for the 2023-24 ski season.<\/p>\n
