"Park City's new Sunrise gondola and Monarch Mountain's 400-acre No-Name Basin expansion in Colorado. 4 tier ranking system of improvements: Minor Investments: smaller-scale changes that aren't intended to have huge front-facing experience impacts Noteworthy Investments: important changes that aren't the most prominent, but have the potential to bring palpable experience improvements Substantial Investments: changes that we expect most guests will prominently notice Game-Changing Investments: changes that will not only be noticed, but have the potential to expand the resort's appeal to a meaningful new clientele."
