Yeah, I read that. I skied the Canyons the 2nd year ASC owned it. While it can't match up with Alta/Snowbird, it is a really good place. My favorite by far of the Park City resorts.
Bye bye, ASC. 
Can't say I'm particularly broken up over it :wink:

Talisker...the company buying the canyons, owns all the land that park city mtn resort and deer valley are on. They lease the land to Powdr...so they could be in a nice place to take over the ops at the canyons too. Talisker doen't look like an operator, just a land owner/developer...like CNL Properties who owns properties run by Boyne (Brighton), Booth Creek (Loon and Northstar Tahoe). CNL also owns Bretton Woods/Mt Washington Hotel, and a bunch of other places...marinas, golf courses, malls, etc. Another huge privately owned company buying into the snow industry...can't enen find out much about them online.

Geographically could pcmr and the canyons be connected? I thought I read somewhere that the moutain in between the two was originally slated for an independant ski resort at some point in the past.

I'm not an expert here and I don't know who owns the land between PCMR and The Canyons but in terms of ht Geography I think it would be completely realistic to link PCMR and The Canyons. Deer Valley and The Canyons are already adjacent.

Talisker owns the Talisker Resort development at Deer Valley.
Interesting blurb froman articel:
The transaction is not expected to result in any change in the status of currently pending litigation between The Canyons and Wolf Mountain.

According to some friends in Park City Talisker owns that land too...its a pretty good distance if you drive from the canyons to park city resort...something like 6 miles...but the terrain is much closer and might only take a few lifts to get there...canyons put in a lift...dreammaker I think, last year that got them even closer. There are mtb trails that you can ride from deer valley all the way to the canyons...and beyond. There's also talk out in SLC about working out some sort of interconnect from big and little cottonwood to the park city resorts...I think geographically the canyons and brighton are the closest...would make SLC more like Europe in the ability to ski from one resort to another.
How come nobody is bashing Talisker for not announcing an extended ski season right off the bat? What are the season pass rates going to be? They'd better have a $299 unlimited pass to all Talisker resorts or there's going to be hell to pay.
Because this company, experts in land and property management, has no more experience with ski resorts than POWDR. And I doubt they will manage the Canyons any differently than POWDR does Killington. This is a real estate company.
Is it because they're out west and nobody in the east cares?
I'll be watching what they announce and the reaction to it very closely in the next few weeks.

Can we get a fifth 100 post thread on the fallout resulting from the demise of ASC?
Thank you Dr. Bob...I always listen to my doctor, so I will proceed as prescribed.
I'm always fired up dude...the question is does anyone else in this forum have the energy to keep up with me.
Always stirring.

The only problem with a connect is that Park City Mountain Resort occupies the skiable space between DV and The Canyons, oh and there's also that no snowboarding thing at DV
Actually with the Dreamcatcher lift that The Canyons installed last year, basically 2 more lifts(one up each side of a valley) at The Canyons ski terrain would be connected to that of Park City Mountain Resort, and the only thing that seperates the ski terrain of DV and Park City Mountain resort is a little orange rope near the top of the Empire Express lift at DV and the top of the McConkey's 6 pack at DV. A couple of lifts and its lift served skiing for about 10 miles of driving distance on the roads encompassing what would be around 13,000 acres of terrain:-D Then literally a couple of more lifts and you've connected Park City Mountain Resort to Brighton and Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon and then with just a little hike off the top of those, you're at Alta and then onto Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon. If that entire greater SLC area interconnect ever goes through, it would just be a phenomenal addition to skiers all over! I really, really hope it happens someday!
i don't think the canyons ever played the cheap pass game. i'm guessing your comments have very little to do with the canyons.
