Canyons/Solitude Tram update

Excerpts from the Park Record article:

Proponents of the proposed SkiLink went to Washington, D.C., this week to begin laying the groundwork for a gondola that would link Canyons ski resort with Solitude.


Meanwhile, on the Utah home front, opponents of the project have been mustering their own forces and are characterizing the project as a potential environmental catastrophe.

Representatives of the ski industry have long argued that connecting the area's resorts would be a boon to tourism and the state's economy. In this case, they also suggest the link could reduce traffic in Big Cottonwood Canyon and over Parley's Summit. Environmentalists, though, say it would open up the remaining backcountry to development and destroy a vital watershed.

But what if the two sides were able to negotiate a compromise, one that could actually reduce traffic and offer skiers

I believe this tram would only help Park City's economy by making our resorts even more desirable by linking with the other side of the Wasatch Mountains.
