The Park City Planning Commission voted Wednesday to let Park City Mountain move forward with upgrades to two chairlifts that provide crucial mountain connections.
Commissioners voted 5-0 to advance the plan — ending a yearslong tug-of-war over the plan. Adam Strachan, a former attorney for resort owner Vail Resorts who joined the board this year, recused himself from the vote.
The Silverlode Express will expand from a six-passenger detachable lift to an eight-passenger detachable lift. The 30-year-old Eagle and Eaglet chairlifts will be replaced with a six-passenger detachable chairlift and mid-mountain station.
Nearly 40 locals showed up to comment on the two proposals — all but one voicing total support.
