Last November, I was suggesting that Park City Mountain (Vail Resorts) should purchase Brighton from Boyne Mountain and Solitude from the Stern-Penske families, to insure its snow viability in view of climate change.
Today, that strategy become even more pressing as Alterra, its new competitor is getting a foothold at nearby Little Cottonwood Canyon by forming a marketing alliance with Alta and Snowbird.
The Park City-Brighton-Solitude would add an exciting interconnected experience to that snow-insurance aspect, and would do much more than counterbalance the future Alterra threat.
Questions are, if a sale of Solitude might be in the cards, would Boyne be willing to part with its little ski area and would Vail Resorts have the financial appetite to even consider the deal?
