More information on Thaynes Canyon – Did you know that Park City mine technology was 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.
