The Deer Valley Ski Resort spends millions nearly
every year in improvements to make the next ski season better than
the last.
Deer Valley has invested millions in improvements each ski season
which includes:
Replacement of
Cushing's Cabin at the top of Flagstaff Mountain with a new cabin
that seats 40 to 45 guests,
features updated restrooms and offer a similar menu as in years past
Remodel of the Empire
Canyon Lodge, increased seating upstairs, improved layout of
food and beverage area
Replacement of the
main snowmaking line from the Snow Park snowmaking lakes to the
bottom of the Carpenter Express and Silver Lake Express
chairlifts
Replacement of five
snowcats, (better grooming) including one winch cat as well as
replacement of 44 snowmobiles at the Summit Meadows Adventures
snowmobile operation
This is a big
improvement for the seasonal employees - The construction of 50
cabins at the Heber Valley RV Park, which will house
approximately 200 Deer Valley Resort employees. It's always hard
for employees to find affordable housing, if any housing in Park
City during the winter ski season, especially those coming from
another country. Deer Valley will even be providing
transportation from the new cabins in Heber to the the Deer
Valley Resort.

And last year, the Deer Valley Resort invested $9 million in improvements for the
2007/2008 ski season including the following:
The building of a
new high-speed detachable quad chairlift, Lady Morgan Express, in
the Empire Canyon area. The area includes over 200 new skiable
acres, including 65 acres of gladed skiing, and nine new ski runs
(three expert runs, one intermediate run and five beginner runs)
The installation
of Snow Scan Ground Penetrating Radar, combined with a GPS system,
which allows Resort staffers to determine snow depth on any part
of the mountain so that grooming and snowmaking operations will be
more efficient
The installation
of enhanced, energy efficient heating systems in the Resort’s 22
chairlift terminals The purchase of 51 new snow guns (10 fan guns,
three air/water guns, 13 portable energy efficient guns and 25
fixed tower energy efficient guns)
The replacement of
Snow Park Lodge’s upper and lower decks with heated pavers; and
the replacement of five Resort snowcats and 12 snowmobile
