"On December 4, Extell announced the completion of their remediation of environmental contaminants associated with the former Mayflower Mine site. Prior to this, Extell worked with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Environmental Response and Remediation Voluntary Cleanup Program to remediate the previous Mayflower Mine site, which had widespread environmental contaminants. Their remediation plan included removing soil and protecting land and water streams to create an area suitable for development."
"But this isn't the end of the Mayflower moniker or the impact of Park City's mining history on the local ski resorts. Until 2023, there was a new ski resort planned near the site of the former Mayflower Mine. The Mayflower Mountain Resort was planned to be adjacent to the world-renowned Deer Valley Resort. In August 2023, Deer Valley ended five years of negotiations with Extell, and acquired the Mayflower Mountain Resort, with its 3,700 skiable acres and over 135 new runs."
Extell expanded westward with the Deer Valley East Village, a $5 billion ski community on land formerly occupied by the Mayflower Mine. The Mayflower Mine operated from 1929 until 1972 and left widespread environmental contaminants across roughly 442 acres. On December 4 Extell completed remediation through a voluntary cleanup program with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, removing contaminated soil and protecting land and waterways to make the area suitable for development. Deer Valley acquired the planned Mayflower Mountain Resort in August 2023, retiring the Mayflower name and creating the largest contiguous Deer Valley ski development in forty years. The acquired tract included 3,700 skiable acres and over 135 proposed runs. The Mayflower name remains in a lift and the US-40 exit.
