  • Vail Resorts to Operate Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah
    May 29, 2013 Vail Resorts to Operate Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah - Vail Resorts enters into a long-term lease with Talisker for first mountain resort in Utah. - Canyons will be included in the Epic Season Pass for the 2013-2014 winter season. BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vail Resorts today announced that the Company has entered into a long- term lease with affiliate companies of Talisker Corporation for Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. Under the lease, Vail Resorts has assumed all of the resort operations of Canyons while Talisker has retained its development rights for four million square feet of real estate at the resort. "With 4,000 skiable acres, easy access to the town of Park City and $75 million in recent resort improvements, Canyons is a perfect complement to our collection of world-class mountain resorts," said Rob Katz, chairman and chief executive officer of Vail Resorts. "I commend the Talisker and Canyons team for the outstanding work they have done to redevelop the resort, which is reflected in a top 10 ranking by SKI Magazine and #4 ranking by Outside Magazine. We look forward to building on that momentum and including Canyons in our industry-leading season pass products, which next season will offer guests access to Colorado, Tahoe and Utah on one season pass, a first in ski industry history. We will also leverage our guest database and domestic and international sales and marketing efforts to continue to drive Canyons' growth. Talisker has an outstanding track record of high-end resort development and we look forward to working together to create something truly extraordinary with Talisker's four million square feet of remaining approved residential and commercial density at Canyons." The transaction also incorporates the potential for the lease, without additional consideration, to include the land under the ski terrain of Park City Mountain Resort that is adjacent to Canyons and is currently owned by Talisker and is subject to pending litigation.

    Appendix C Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola Final Visitation and Use Assessment SQUAW VALLEY | ALPINE MEADOWS BASE-TO-BASE GONDOLA FINAL VISITATION AND USE ASSESSMENT February 2018 Prepared by: SE Group and RRC Associates Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows Gondola Visitation and Use Assessment BACKGROUND Squaw Valley Ski Holdings, LLC (SVSH) has applied to the U.S. Forest Service and Placer County, California for permission to construct a gondola connecting the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski areas.1 The U.S. Forest Service and Placer County are analyzing the potential environmental impacts of this project through a joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIS/EIR will analyze direct and indirect effects of the Proposed Action and alternatives to the Proposed Action that would occur on both National Forest System (NFS) lands as well as private lands within Placer County, California. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future activities that could affect, or could be affected by, implementation of the Proposed Action and alternatives will be analyzed cumulatively. This assessment is designed to inform the analysis of potential direct impacts of the proposed Base-to- Base Gondola by evaluating the anticipated changes to annual snowsports visitation at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows as a result of the proposed project. This analysis evaluates the anticipated impact on total snowsports visits (i.e., skier visits) and potential changes in the Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows market share expected to specifically result from the installation and operation of the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola. METHODOLOGIES AND DATA Amenities and Attractions At the root of this assessment is the consideration of whether the proposed Base-to-Base Gondola would principally provide an added amenity at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows or if the added resort connectivity that it would provide would be sufficiently unique to act as an attractant to increased visitation.
