I love what they did with the depression towers at the bottom. It reminds me of yan’s integrated sheaves like on the old superstar. Must be fun to ride through them!
After years of reading blogs about it, its great to see one of the largest resort expansions in history finally come to fruition. Deer valley green looks great on the D line, hopefully ill be able to head over there soon and see it for myself.
A question that has been on my mind: Will East Village Gondola open summers in addition, since it’s now the main lift from East Village. Maybe as a link when the Silver Lake portion to Park Peak gets built?
They’ll probably open it eventually, in a few years once the lodge is open and they’re further along in all the rest of the construction at the East Village. The bike park covers some of that area and it will be a big spot for weddings in the summer.
