Last week, TCFC Finance Co., the development company that owns the land on which Vail Resorts operates its ski area, and Replay Resorts hosted a community meeting about the new Canyons Village Master Plan to reconfigure approximately 2.3 million of square feet of development in the upper and lower village. The plan was met with support for its efforts to reduce traffic, increase parking, and build a pedestrian-friendly village. The master developer of the Canyons Village at Park City Mountain Resort wants to create a “more cohesive and vibrant village core for all seasons” with the help of a new master plan.

By linking two of North America’s greatest ski areas, Vail Resorts has created Park City Mountain. With 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, it’s the largest mountain resort in the U.S. The Park City experience starts at Canyons Village, and plans are underway to transform the village into a vibrant four-season center of recreation, celebration and imagination.
