Eagle Lift history

SKIER SUBWAY (UNKNOWN) - In 1965 a former mine train was opened s a "Skier Subway." The lift stoped operating a few years later as many found it frightening riding in the dark.

Catering to skiers from southern Utah, Las Vegas, Southern California and Phoenix looking for challenging terrain and powdery conditions, Mount Holly Ski Area opened in 1972 with a double chair and T-bar.

A small hotel, now known as the Stonewood Condominiums, was built and opened for business in 1973 winter ski season.

The first came from Germany, the next set came from Hall who had succeded Constam in marketing and installing PHB Gondolas in the US. In 1982 the gondola recieved all new CWA Custom Omega type cabins with one slanted side and automatic doors.

By 1988, the two ski areas were marketed together and a shuttle bus connected them.

Case proposed a major expansion for the ski area during the late 1990's, which would have included more hotels, condos, and a golf course which was the recreation and hospitality trend at the time.

EagleLIFT, Inc. is a continuously expanding business which started in Walnut, California in July 1995, as a Sole Proprietorship under the name of Eagle Marketing.

SILVERLOAD (GARAVENTA-CTEC) - Built in 1996 this High Speed Six, replaced the Crescent Quad chair built by Yan.

The Gondola was replaced in 1997 by two high speed six packs after 34 years of service.

In January 1999, Eagle Marketing was transformed into an “S” Corp under the name of Moody Enterprises, Inc., doing business as (DBA) Eagle Contracting and Engineering, specializing in the Public Works Sector.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Wayne Case and John Rupp from Schmitt spent over $15 million on the resort by 2000.

The owner became licensed as a General (A) Contractor in April 2002 and also picked up a distributorship for the Grip-Tite piering system for repairing foundations.
