Other plans include making two other lifts bigger and faster, building one new restaurant and upgrading two others, and improving snowmaking.It will be a transformational makeover that will give skiers and snowboarders a much better experience, said Bill Rock, Park City Mountain Resort chief operating officer. The projects are pending approval from city and county officials in Park City.Putting the two resorts together has been the vision for a long time, Rock said. Its great for our company, its great for Park City, and its great for Utah skiing.Vail bought Park City Mountain Resort in September for $182.5 million, resolving a messy legal battle between Vail and Powdr Corp. that threatened to cancel the ski season. Vail began leasing and operating Canyons in May 2013.The 7,300 combined acres of skiable terrain certainly will make it among the nations largest, said Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association. His association doesnt track the size of U.S. resorts by skiable acres to say for sure which is the biggest.Skiers already can buy one ticket and ski both resorts this season. But without a connecting lift, theyll have to take ground transportation to do that.The makeover is one of the largest investments in Utah ski resorts since Talisker Corp. invested about $75 million over several years in the early 2010s to improve and upgrade Canyons before Vail took over the resort.It marks yet another significant moment in what has been a big year for the Utah ski industry, which is garnering attention across North America, said Ralf Garrison, a Denver-based ski industry consultant with The Advisory Group. History shows skiers are drawn to new and more combined terrain.Also in the past year, Deer Valley Resort bought Solitude Mountain Resort and will take it over in 2015. Powdr Corp. executive Ian Cumming purchased the majority interest of Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort. And officials continue to work toward a long-term plan of building a series of chairlifts that would link seven ski areas and give Utah a European-style experienceThat plan gets a turbo charge from the connecting lift at Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons, leaving only two connecting lifts to be planned and constructed to make the ambitious project a reality, said Nathan Rafferty, president of the trade group Ski Utah.The new plans help shine the spotlight on Utah, which is vital in a very competitive ski industry, Rafferty said.Skiers and snowboarders are adventurists, and they are always looking for the next adventure, Rafferty said. People get to pour over the map and plot out how they are going to ski those two mountains together. Thats a lot of skiing.Not everybody in Utah was thrilled about the announcement. Carl Fisher, executive director of Save Our Canyons, said the connecting lift plan is less impactful on the mountain than other proposals. But he said the totality of the projects represents the continuation of a troubling trend of hyper-development of ski mountains that started years ago.Skiing is an activity to try and get out and connect with nature, whether its at the resort or in the backcountry, Fisher said. This is taking away from its core.The new gondola will seat eight people and take about 9 minutes to get from the Silverlode lift at Park City Mountain Resort to the Flatiron lift at Canyons, Vail officials said. It will include a stop-off point midway at Pine Cone Ridge, where skiers will be able to cruise down two new trails.It marks the first gondola at the resort since an old one was shut down in 1983.The combined resorts will be known in the future as Park City Mountain Resort, Rock said. Canyons will be known as Canyons at Park City.

"We knew we had to play better today," said Webster, referring to the teams two previous losses. "We played miles better than we have the two previous games. We loved the ice today, so that made us feel so much better." Webster credits third Cathy Overton-Clapham for bringing some much-needed experience to a team that has yet to compete at the international level. "We thought, in an Olympic year, it would be great to bring that experience on to our team," she said. "And were still learning from each other of course.
