The plan was to use money from tolls, federal funds and special finance districts to build a single-bore tunnel from connecting Alta and Brighton that would cost an estimated $250 million, and an all-season road to Park City that would cost from $50 million to $150 million . The proposed road and tunnel would have connected Deer Valley, The Canyons, Park City Mountain Resort, Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude. The concept would have allowed skiers to drive between mountaintop resorts instead of up and down canyon roads or Interstate 80, already subject to heavy traffic.
On November 3, 2006, 25 of the most influential people in the Utah ski industry were invited to a meeting at the governor s office to discuss the proposal and nothing about it has been heard since...
