Not to sound like an Alta snob but that is an insane amount of $$$ to cat ski Deer freaking Valley.
Deer Valley sells a $2,000 cheeseburger.

You'd be surprised. There is a lot of money being thrown around in DV and PC.2k per person for a couple of cat rides up the new terrain, if that really is the cost, is going to be a tough sell most weekends I'd guess.
One hotel is now open for business. More details as to how this came to be and what this development replaced.

Deer Valley’s first East Village hotel was built with the military in mind. Here’s a peek inside.
The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, which debuted in November as the first hotel in the ski resort's East Village expanded terrain, is billed as "a new standard of mountain adventure and hospitality." Here's what it will offer, and what a night will cost.www.sltrib.com
I’ve got to think that Extell is moving from Step 2 to Step 3 of the business plan soon but not quite yet at “Bro Down.” They’ve already sold out the skiing piece to DV.I really dont understand all the new hotel capacity being built, as it's not like there's a shortage of lodging here. I guess it makes sense if you think you can keep filling it at $800/night, but seems risky to me, especially given it's not in Park City (regardless of how they claim it is).
With extra hotels in the area it may bring down hotel room prices across the board. I didn't think the drive into town from the East Village was bad. It takes 18 minutes, compared to the drive from Canyons Village it's 12 minutes. Not a big difference. The issue with the East Village area now is there is no place to go for food other than what's in the Grand Hyatt.I really dont understand all the new hotel capacity being built, as it's not like there's a shortage of lodging here.

True for now on the food options. But as that village location starts to infill with room capacity, dining and beverage options should expand quite a bit. Hard to plunk those establishments down before you have the foot traffic density to support in an out of town village location.With extra hotels in the area it may bring down hotel room prices across the board.
