The base of this new chairlift is located just at the bottom of the Trump ski trail, where it meets the popular Ontario ski run.

This new section of the resort is easy to get to from either Empire Pass or from Deer Valley's East Village community. From the East Village, there is a very long East Village Gondola that takes you from the new resort base all the way…

On Wednesday, the Park City Planning Commission gave the green light to Deer Valley's proposal to install a new six-pack bubble lift on Park Peak.
