From Utah: Park City Resorts Wish to Connect to Big Cottonwood

[JohnL]

Thanks for the links; I came across the Epic Ski thread yesterday.

Just looking at the topo from Google Maps, I'd be real surprised if they could connect the bottom of MB with Mary Ellen Gulch. Looks way to flat.

Sorry about all the questions and thanks for the responses!

No problem man and welcome to the boards. I don't quite understand the concept either as I have not ventured back there to get a lay of the land. Look me up if you are out here and maybe we can take a few runs.

Update:

Both sides are getting entrenched and things are getting hot.

I'm unfortunately not surprised, when I rode the ski bus a few years ago seem like alta employees and snowbird employees are like hostel to each other, especially if you asked which mountain was better, i said i think their both great.

Canyons took the press on a tour of the proposed lift line. Still on the fence about this one, especially considering that Talisker is trying to oust PCMR and take that over. If they buy Solitude then we have a monstrosity.

The 11K length of the gondola really puts how close the two ski areas are in perspective. That's the same length as the Slide Brook Quad connecting Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen at Sugarbush.

Wow I guess I didn't realize they were that close.

Is it just going to be a transfer lift, or are they planning to have skiing between them?
