The road proposal seems an expensive answer to a question few people have asked. Lift connections would be much cheaper and would create the Euro-style ski circus the Utah marketers want. I'm sure that's the way it works in the Alps.

Locals would never use these tunnels....but visitors from Park City would.
This is similar to Europe in a way....
I think the Alps work as private-public partnerships or simply public works projects.
I am fascinated by the Euro ski model vs. the American ski model. It's like Airbus vs. Boeing. But that does not capture it.
Euro resorts generally lack the real estate investment arm of the American/Canadian way....often because they have the infrastructure already or did it in the Euro high growth time after the wars in the 60s/70s.
As part of a municipal budget, a few million for high-tech lifts seems feasible for Euro resorts.
I do not understand everything. But alternative models are interesting.

Could this be the start of our base? I snapped the two photos below when the clouds finally broke at 4:30 pm local time, long-distance from West Valley.
I also finally reached my source. While there is some misinformation in that link, there are elements of truth to it as well. I'm putting together a news item for publication this evening.
