Halfpipe & Lift Improvements

Park City Mountain Resort has been moved lots of dirt at the site of the Olympic Halfpipe.  The plan is to improve the area around the halfpipe, mainly the ski race route that passes the halfpipe.  Also, by building up the walls of the dirt that will eventually help form the halfpipe walls, the resort can build the pipe sooner in the season by requiring less snow to be created for the pipe.  In addition the pipe will sit at a slightly more steeper angle, to be better in-line with the new industry standards fpr the popular event.

The resort has also removed the old, slow Three Kings double chair and is replacing with a high-speed triple chairlift.  Rumor has it the high-speed chair will have a fixed chair, vs. the normal dettachable system.  To get on the chair, there will be a "magic carpet" to move riders to the same speed as the lift.  should be a great addition, and will get skiers and boarders up the hill much faster, and will hopefully cut down on the long lift lines often seen at this very popular chairlift.
