In the 1960's Park City mines were used to transport skiers.
In 1965 when United Park City Mines Company, which built and operated Treasure Mountain
Resort (now Park City Mountain Resort), decided to use the old Spiro mine drain tunnel as an alternative way to get skiers to the summit of
the ski resort.
The mine company created the world's first underground ski lift, using the existing
electric mine train coupled with cars fabricated to carry skiers and their skis.
The skiers traveled three miles into the mountain to the Thaynes Shaft where a hoist
(mine elevator) lifted them 1,800 feet to the surface in Thaynes Canyon.
There they put on their skis and traveled the short distance to the Thaynes Chair
Lift.
In fact, underlying the Park City area are some 1,000 miles of tunnels, several times
more than the New York subway system.
The "Skier Subway" didn’t last long.
After riding it once, skiers would become discouraged with the long trip and go for the
gondola instead.
The last mine train specifically for skiers ran in February
1969.
Surrounding the homes are countless mature Aspen and Pine trees giving this home a true mountain feel.
You will enjoy stunning southern views encompassing Park City and Deer Valley ski runs from virtually every room throughout your
