Progress on Deer Valley's New Sister Resort

[raisingarizona]

It just seems like an area without a cause. They say 4,000 people per day? I dunno, when I go to the Wasatch I wont be one of them. I wont stay there either. I dont get it.

It’s a real estate project. I imagine they want to connect somehow to park city and/or deer valley

Update

Mayflower Mountain Resort is anticipated to generate 4,000 daily visits

Officials recently announced they anticipate 4,000 daily visits or more to the Mayflower Mountain Resort. They are planning how to offset those impacts with employee housing and transit systems.

DV. They are still “negotiating” with DV about connecting ski terrain and lifts. That’s not a good sign that DV is not interested…

I imagine it would have an effect on their exclusivity reputation or did that all go out the window when they joined epic, or is it Ikon? Whatever, the mega pass group they are part of.

That’s all but gone after Alterra bought it. Compared to other resorts it is still a bit exclusive but it’s not the same DV experience that made it special.

I figure there is no reason for DV to sign an agreement yet. Any early agreement solely helps Mayflower. DVs job is to make sure they make the most $$$ possible on it. As Mayflower gets closer to opening DV will hold more and more cards.

One would think that Mayflower would have its shit in order and get this deal done before actually building anything. I guess not.

Ehhh.... it seems like a boondoggle to me, disguised as a "real estate project" - even the way it keeps being written about in the media, all sorts of uncertainties, should's, might's, may's, likely's, etcetera. Shouldn't this all be hammered-out in professional detail long before the earth's scraped, concrete's poured, and rebar's going up?

Right. The more that happens, the clearer it becomes that something is not right. Lots of crazy numbers thrown out there so far and very high expectations, but I get increasingly skeptical.

Ahh, it's Park City. People there don't even bother to sign their sweetheart lease extensions.

Yeah, that is one guy who is still trying to "show how great" of a businessman he is. Regardless, that will remain a case study in business and law school for many, many years to come.

The latest. I still can’t take this seriously.

The quotes in that article were kind of odd. 3,200 feet of vertical??? I don't think so.

Still plenty of years to go bankrupt before completion

Right? That and the comment about the glades being “delish”. The article was like something in a high school newspaper.

And anyone else find it fascinating that for all the talk and money supposedly invested that there are NO structures rising yet? A lot of grading and moving dirt!

I think it’s been 2+ years now of dirt moving and “utility” work. Yikes…

Also if I still lived there, that “local” lady that’s in charge. Id like to tell her what I think about her and this blunder to the area.

Did you watch the video? They are reaching REAL far with their claiming

I haven’t looked at a topo map in that area for a while, but 3,200’ very is probably close to accurate. It’s just a low base elevation, much lower then DV/PC base. Could be like 5,600’ base elevation with 8,800’ top. Plus or minus some there for that total vert.

End result. This place sucks. Every part of it.
