Park City in Utah has been dubbed as the largest ski resort in the United States after the grand opening of the all new Quicksilver Gondola and the Miners Camp Restaurant.
"On this historic day for our company, the debut of the Quicksilver Gondola connecting the two mountains and Miners Camp restaurant brings to life one of the most ambitious capital projects undertaken at any resort in industry history," said Rob Katz, chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts. "Bill Rock and his team have delivered on their promise to create an experience of a lifetime at Park City and we hope all of our guests enjoy everything that this world-class mountain and iconic mountain town have to offer."
According to their press release in PR Newswire, the construction of Quicksilver and Miners Camp is part of the $50 million improvements campaign to connect Park City and neighboring Canyons Resort. With the Quicksilver Gondola fully functional, guests can now experience hundreds of trails across Park City and Canyons Village.
"Park City is one of the most spectacular places on Earth and now, for the first time ever, our guests will have unprecedented access to over 300 trails, 41 lifts and 7,300 acres of ski-able terrain across one Park City," said Bill Rock, chief operating officer of Park City. "Quicksilver, Miners Camp and the $50 million in capital improvements across the resort will completely transform the guest experience at Park City. We are thrilled to debut these projects in time for the Christmas holiday."
Miners Camp replaces the old Snow Hut at the base of the Silverlode Lift. The new on-mountain restaurant has 500 indoor seats and offers a fresh menu highlighted by local ingredients, daily specials, handmade flatbread pizzas, Mediterranean dishes and local drafts on tap.
In addition to Quicksilver and Miners Camp, guests will also find supplementary snowmaking across the resort, two new trails off of Pinecone Ridge, and major upgrades to the King Con and Motherlode lifts. All development projects will be unveiled this December.
