Park City Mountain looks to avoid controversy with new gondola

Sunrise Gondola expected to lessen impact of wind holds at The Canyons, which is overseen by a different planning commission than the one that denied the resort approval for two lifts on the Mountain Village side.

Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune The Red Pine Gondola transports skiers at The Canyons Resort, Friday, December 26, 2014. Because the lift spans deep valleys, it often is put on wind hold. Park City Mountain wants to build the Sunrise Gondola, which will run in conjunction with the Red Pine Gondola and also terminate at the Red Pine Lodge but will follow the contours of the mountain to avoid wind issues.
