SAM Magazine-Park City, Utah, April 16, 2008-Park City Mountain Resort plans $10.5 million in improvements for the 2008-09 winter season, including a new Doppelmayr CTEC high-speed chair lift, terrain enhancements and renovation of the Mid-Mountain Lodge.

"Our goal is to have more of our guests explore the diverse terrain that our mountain has to offer," said Peter Curtis, president and general manager. "We've accomplished this with our groomed Signature Runs, Mountainzone trail maps, personal mountain planner, and terrain enhancements, which began with Motherlode Meadows."

The new high-speed Crescent replaces the Ski Team lift, with a new alignment that will begin near the base of the resort. And it will extend all the way to Crescent Ridge (also known as Ski Team Ridge). The new chair lift will significantly increase accessibility out of the base area as well as to the front-side runs, which are some of the resort's best advanced terrain-it is more than twice the length of the Ski Team lift, and makes its trip in less time. The new lift will access a majority of the resort, including the Silverlode, Bonanza, King Con, PayDay, Town, Pioneer and McConkey's lifts.

The resort is also adding a new run and expanding snowmaking. Park City Mountain Resort is assuming operation of Mid-Mountain Lodge and renovating it to further develop on-mountain dining. \
