[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the trails to the town lift are open. (So much for ski in ski out properties). You have to ride the town lift back down which takes 25 mins in the afternoon! Some guests going under ropes to use the closed trails to town which are icy and low snow cover/ rocks and stumps abound. Dangerous. [/quote]

People staying in Park City and depending on the Town Lift to take them to the slopes do they don’t have to drive should be aware that the future if the town lift is in jeopardy because if Vail.

The original lease agreement is for $10 a year with the Sweeney family who owns the property the Main Street Town Lift is on that us from the 80’s. That agreement specifies the company who owns the the ski resort has to have insurance and pay for claims.

So what does Vail do the first time there is a claim.They deny it. First they say they have insurance then admit they self-insure so don’t have insurance  The Sweeney family is now suing to get out if that contract AND selling the land for $27 million. Vail hasn’t shown much interest in buying it.

So they’d us a chance if gets shut down next year.

“The Sweeneys aren’t buying it [Vail’s excuses] and the lease agreement itself states that the insurance for everything the lease covers must be “kept in force during the term of this agreement, general liability insurance in an insurance company satisfactory to the lessors.”

According to the Brothers III [Sweeny Brother] complaint, a skier named Dina Miller slipped and fell while walking in her ski boots in the restroom on Feb. 6, 2023, and sued Vail Resorts and the brothers for negligence this year, on April 26.

The Brothers III tendered a claim in February to Vail Resorts for defense and indemnification from Miller’s claims, in line with the lease agreement. Vail Resorts’ counsel denied their claim, they said.

The brothers reminded Vail Resorts about the lease agreement and tried again with the claim.

Then Aug. 15, the Brothers III sent Vail Resorts a notice of default of the 1981 agreement.

Strachan replied to them Sept. 12, asserting that Vail Resorts was not in default and that the company’s insurance in essence was in line with the agreement.

Then his Oct. 16 letter offered to defend and indemnify Brothers III, with the caveat about keeping options open in the Miller suit to assign fault to the landlords.

The brothers said in the complaint that the deadline for Vail Resorts to cure the defaults had passed Sept. 16. And they filed the lawsuit Friday.
