ptly named after the historic mine nestled within
its 6,000-plus acres, Mayflower Mountain Resort
is slated to be a one-of-a-kind ski area and luxury
village, with planners claiming that it will be the most
impressive ski resort built in decades.
“You hear of too many issues going on in ski land with inadequate
capacity, inadequate parking, inadequate snow and coverage, and we
really think this is going to be a standout because it is brand new, state
of the art, and we have very adequate parking, great accessibility, and
it is all getting done together as an integrated luxury resort,” says Gary
Barnett, the founder and chairman of Extell Development Company,
which is spearheading the project. “This is going to be something that
really changes the game in terms of alpine ski resorts.”
When completed, the Mayflower Mountain Resort will offer over 4,300
acres of new skiable terrain, 3,225 feet of vertical, and a high-tech
snowmaking machine that can cover over 750 acres. The ski area will
have 15 modern chairlifts, including the longest six-pack in North Amer-
ica, and plenty of north-facing terrain with open bowls, glades, and fall-
line runs that are miles long.

“No one in the country is not going to want to ski this

At the base of the ski area will be the Mayflower
Mountain Village, which is slated to have 1,560 resi-
dential units, 825 hotel rooms, 250,000-square-feet of
retail and commercial space, and 68,000-square-feet
for recreation. In addition, the multi-faceted develop-
ment will set aside 95,000-square-feet for employee
housing and 100 daily rooms in the conference hotel
(387 rooms total) for members of the military.
Kurt Krieg, the executive vice president of develop-
ment at Extell, notes that, “The apartments down by
the Jordanelle Gondola will open this winter, and the
conference hotel is slated to be completed in fall of
2024, opening for the preview 2024/2025 ski season.”
Extell has already been working on preparing the land
for the development. They started a cleanup program
to address any mining activity residue in 2019, and the
multi-million dollar undertaking and was completed in
the fall of 2021. “We have already put in a tremendous
amount of work and infrastructure,” explains Gary.
The Mayflower development is located on Route 40,
approximately 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City
International Airport. Patrons can get to the moun-
tain without encountering a single stoplight. n

The owners of Elume look back
at the evolution of Park City
and the life it’s afforded them
RWORDS Evie Carrick | IMAGES Deborah Dekoff
unning a high-end lighting business
was never part of Jen Brassey or
Joe Ardovino’s long-term plan, but
somehow they ended up just where they
needed to be. Their company, Elume,
reflects their individual strengths and has
afforded them the mountain lifestyle they
love so much — golf and waterskiing in the
summer and skiing and snowboarding in
the winter.
“I love it when the kids come home and we go skiing.
We end up with so many generations, and it is amaz-
ing because my dad still skis at 83 and has more
stamina than we do!” says Jen.
Between Jen and Joe, they have four grown chil-
dren — Brayden, AJ, Sierra, and Avery — who were
all raised in Park City. When their kids were little,
Joe remembers that “everybody went to the moun-
tain and everybody did everything [ski racing, ski
jumping, etc.]. We really were a ski town,” he laughs,
“everyone was training for the Olympics.”
Joe and his family moved to Park City in the late
‘90s, while Jen started teaching skiing at Park West
(now Canyons Village) in 1984. “When I worked at
Park West, the base of the mountain where the vil-
lage is now was a dirt parking lot, and the road from
the freeway was two lanes and often windblown with
snow drifts,” she remembers.
A lot has changed since then, but their love for the
mountain lifestyle remains. “Joe and I love to golf,
water ski, and travel, among other things,” says Jen.
The duo bought the business in 2007, renamed
and rebranded it, and moved it to Quarry Village in
2011. The entire operation revolves around their
award-winning showroom, which provides a taste of
the fixtures and lighting services Elume offers.

“We try to go above and beyond; Park City Showroom: 3156 Quarry Road, Unit A

with our customer. 55
We want to be their lighting people Park-CityStyle.com | WINTER • SPRING 2022-2023
for the rest of their lives.”
— JEN BRASSEY
“We have a very contemporary showroom which is very different
from most,” says Jen, noting that customers often “come in, stop,
and look up in wonder. … The showroom displays are meant to
inspire… to spark something.” In the back of the showroom, hun-
dreds of catalogs await. Elume has relationships with companies
all over the world — including those in Israel, Holland, and Italy —
and often designs custom fixtures.
Perhaps what makes Elume standout the most is the service they
provide — from the first consultation to servicing any issues with
the installation and beyond. Jen and her sales team usher cus-
tomers through the showroom and help them visualize their light-
ing. She says their team is highly educated and creative, which
results in every project being unique.
Meanwhile, Joe, who also owns and oversees a sales and mar-
keting company and a gymnastics facility, stages Elume’s orders,
makes deliveries, and uses his electrical engineering background
to troubleshoot any problems that come up during installation.
“I could be driving a forklift or building something, you just don’t
know. It’s really that typical small-business mentality,” says Joe.
“We have made many customers happy by solving tough lighting
issues,” says Jen, remembering all the times Joe has had to rewire
a light or do a last-minute run to Salt Lake City to have a part cus-
tom made. “We help people not make the mistakes they might
make on their own,” she laughs. “We try to go above and beyond;
we want to build a relationship with our customers. We want to be
their lighting people for the rest of their lives.”
Elume can work on projects as small as a lightbulb and as large as
a 15,000-square-foot new build. And while the jewel of their work
is often eye-catching fixtures, or what Jen calls the “wow” to greet
your guests, Elume also handles a home’s architectural lighting,
task lighting, ambient lighting, and exterior lighting. The end goal?
To highlight the architecture, a piece of art, and perhaps most
importantly, to make a space feel good.
“Lighting really changes how you feel in a room,” explains Jen, not-
ing that lighting has the power to open up a room, enhance your
skin tone, and make you feel at ease in a space. And you can bet
that every project Jen and Joe are involved in is executed to perfec-
tion. The couple’s hardworking entrepreneurial spirit drives every-
thing they do.
For now, they’re riding the wave of growth in Park City. And while
they look back fondly on the days of dirt parking lots and two-lane
roads, they appreciate everything the growing community has
afforded them. n

REAL ESTATE TODAY
Abbi Martz and Bill Ligety share the inside scoop on the market
TIMAGE Deborah Dekoff
he real estate market is constantly
changing, leaving buyers and sellers
unsure of when to make a move
and when to lay low. To provide some
insight, we sat down with Abbi Martz and
Bill Ligety, long-term Parkites who are
recognized among America’s top 1 percent
of real estate professionals. The time-
proven team works out of the Summit
Sotheby’s International Realty office in the
heart of Park City’s historic downtown.
Together, they shared a glimpse into Park City’s real
estate market, including a bit about what sellers and
buyers can expect going forward.
What motivates your clients to buy in
Deer Valley and Park City?
A purchase, whether a vacation home or a full-time
residence, is generally a lifestyle decision. Our cli-
ents have worked hard and are often ready to start a
new chapter. They see a home in Park City as a way
to bring the whole family together. Grown children
and grandchildren are often more eager to gather
in a place that offers many year-round, recreational
activities. In addition to being a “kid magnet,” many
owners see a vacation home in Park City as a legacy
investment for future generations.
What is the typical return on investment?
Our clients want to make sound financial deci-
sions. A recent study shows an average annual
appreciation rate of 6.5 percent over the last 20
years in Park City. The return on investment is
often augmented by improved health, well-being,
and family ties. Many buyers view real estate as an
excellent store of value that yields much more than
just financial benefits.
How has the real estate market shifted after the
Covid buying frenzy?
At the close of the 2021/2022 ski season, the real
estate market started to rebalance. We do not
have as many multiple-offer situations and sellers
are agreeing to customary inspections and evalua-
tions again. The inventory of properties for sale has
increased, but is still well below pre-Covid levels.

What makes your business model so successful?
Since we know our target neighborhoods so well, we are able to
help buyers and sellers make fully informed decisions. Abbi’s 18
years in real estate includes selling Montage Deer Valley for the
original developers and being engaged in the creation of The
St. Regis Deer Valley and Stein Eriksen Residences. Bill’s back-
ground as the planning director for the town of Park City and his
experience conceptualizing and marketing numerous new devel-
opments like Belleterre, Bellevue, Bellemont, Belle Arbor, and
The Colony at White Pine Canyon, provides a ground-up, long-
term perspective on the local market.
What makes your partnership work so well?
While we represent different generations, we are both driven to
create the best possible experiences for our clients. Because we
share the same work ethic and rigor for details, we know we can
fully rely on one another. We have the focus, commitment, and
contacts necessary to make connections within the community
that can help clients obtain answers and access resources.
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
We love helping people discover lesser-known facets of Park
City and Deer Valley so they can enjoy the area’s full potential.
Initially, clients may think of Park City as a place to escape and
recreate, but we like to introduce them to cultural activities
and volunteer opportunities that provide a whole new dimen-
sion, or a sport that they never dreamed they would love. We
have had a great time helping clients discover hidden spots on
skis, bikes, and hiking trails. Nothing makes us happier than
receiving a call from a client asking if we can take a few runs
on the ski hill with them! n

Identity Properties, a well-respected
vacation rental company that’s been
around for over 40 years.
“It really just made sense as we continue to create a
vertically integrated real estate services company,”
says Stan Kozlowski, the founder of CooperWynn
and one of three acting partners. His business
partners, Ehlias Louis and Marc Lehmann, have
both played an integral role in the acquisition and
the operation of the new company. Ehlias, who
grew up in Park City, made the connection with
Rob Slettom, a longtime family friend and the pre-
vious owner of Identity Properties.
“After Covid, the three of us were looking for a way
to have an entrance into nightly rentals — just to
have some exposure into that space, to complete
some real estate holdings,” says Ehlias. “Just by
great timing, conversations with another Park City
legacy and family friend, Rob Slettom, led to us
acquiring Identity Properties.”
After the purchase, Identity Properties became
CooperWynn Property Management, and a few
improvements were made to meet today’s market.
“… we have elevated the game in customer service
and care. We are really starting to hit our stride,”
says Marc, who oversees the day-to-day opera-
tions and the expansion of CooperWynn Property

To ensure every property owner and renter get the
utmost care and attention, CooperWynn makes
a point to keep their portfolio small and manage-

Deer Valley. As the steward of someone’s home,
they take their role as asset managers seriously —

Things to do in Park City

ou’re on winter vacation, but
there’s one hiccup: you don’t ski or
snowboard. If you’re looking to do
something other than cozying up by a fire or
having a spa day, there’s more than enough
to choose from. Park City and the Wasatch
Back is a year-round outdoor playground.
Here are just a few suggestions for the active non-
skier or those who want to adventure away from
the resort.
SNOWSHOEING
Snowshoeing is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors
in the winter. This low-impact aerobic workout is suit-
able for all ages, and no experience is required. You can
rent snowshoes and poles from one of the many rental
companies in town at a price that is significantly more
affordable than a lift ticket at the resort. Just make
sure and ask where the day’s best terrain is and what
you’ll need to pack for your adventure.

that makes you feel like you’re inside a magical snow
globe — even as an adult. The Midway Ice Skating Rink
is a scenic outdoor rink that has been a Midway winter
staple since 2000. The Park City Ice Arena is Park City’s
only organized outdoor rink (locals have been known to
create their own neighborhood rinks) and it’s found at
the base of Park City Mountain. The magic of the rink is
enhanced by the holiday décor and cheerful music.
SNOW TUBING
When it comes to snow tubing, adults tend to have just
as much fun as the kids. You’ll slide down long mani-
cured slopes and then enjoy the ride up the magic car-
pet to the top. It’s an easy, memorable activity. Caution:
Tubing may cause uncontrollable laughter and smiling.
SNOWMOBILING
Snowmobiling transports you to unspoiled wood-
lands and open fields blanketed with pristine pow-
der. Whether it’s your first time on the machine or
you’re a skilled rider, snowmobile tours are the best
way to see a wilder side of Utah.
ICE FISHING
With heated huts, snacks, and hot chocolate, this is yet
another family-friendly activity for an off-mountain day.
You can catch rainbow trout or perch from the frozen
surface of the Echo or Rockport Reservoirs.
SLEIGH RIDE
One of the most stunning ways to experience the
mountains is aboard a horse-drawn sleigh. You can
join Park City Sleigh Rides for a cruise through Willow
Draw from Canyons or book a sleigh ride dinner with
the Snowed Inn Sleigh Company. Either way, traveling
across the snow behind a team of horses is an experi-
ence you won’t soon forget. n

“There are a lot of brands that talk about exploring

says. “But there’s not a lot talking about how to get

Uncharted takes a different approach. “This company
is as much a mission as it is business,” Christian points
out. “Our goal is to make the world a safer place.”
Selling gear that can save a life comes with a lot of
responsibility.
“We rigorously test our gear before it goes out to

things and making sure the gear stands up to it. If
I’m going to put my name on something, you can be

In one such instance, Christian was deep in the Yukon.
He brought several prototype products, including a
new water bottle, with him. During the trip, the water
bottle gasket failed and leaked, prohibiting him from
using it as a way to keep his sleeping bag warm at
night. He spent the next several nights in tempera-
tures of 15 degrees below zero without a key element
in his plan for staying warm. Upon return, the gasket
was redesigned, retested, and put into production.
The Seventy2 Pro backpack prototype went through
similar testing. It was used daily for four years,
and when it finally came apart while hauling an

ome of us are old enough — or have parents who are old enough — to remember
a time when ski resort fare consisted mostly of sad cafeteria-style food, dry and
tasteless burgers, bland chili, steamed tube steaks, and nachos covered with a
cheese-like substance from a can. It wasn’t pretty, and it certainly wasn’t tasty. For years
my ski bum buddies and I subsisted on the mashed potatoes at Park City Mountain’s
Summit House. Not exactly gourmet grub.
But things started to improve at our local resorts, from a culinary perspective, toward the end of the last
millennium. Maybe it began with the introduction of Deer Valley Resort’s celebrated turkey chili. Or perhaps
it was the better-than-average, après-ski fare at Steeps bar and grill at Park City Mountain in the mid-1990s.
Things have certainly changed for the better. Yes, you can still get burgers, nachos, and pizza at Park City’s
resorts, but you can also find ambitious dishes and global cuisine — from banh mi and sushi to vegetarian fare.

find an all-day menu of classic American cuisine
at The Pool House. It’s a stylish spot with a heated

Gruet Winery is the perfect pairing for Chef Harris’ buttermilk bis-
cuits with honey butter.
You wouldn’t be off-base to assume that a Thai eatery wouldn’t
have a sensational wine list — most don’t. But Bangkok Thai on
Main is a notable exception. The upscale Thai restaurant has
garnered numerous Wine Spectator magazine awards for its
distinct wine selection. That selection ranges from Dom Péri-
gnon Vintage Champagne, which pairs beautifully with the lob-
ster mango spring rolls, to magnums of The Prisoner Red Blend
to enjoy with rich dishes like pork belly prik king or the roasted
duck with lychee red curry.
If you believe that it’s preferable to drink French wines with French
fare and Spanish wines with Spanish tapas, then Grappa Italian
Restaurant is a great place to investigate. The restaurant has a
staggering selection of imported Italian wines to accompany their
Italian cuisine (in addition to wines from around the world). I’d reach
for a glass of Vietti Roero Arneis to sip alongside the risotto with
scallops and maybe a bold Barolo to complement Grappa’s slow-
braised veal osso bucco.
The 45-page wine list at RIME in The St. Regis Deer Valley is an
eye-popping one. Thankfully, a very skilled sommelier named Polina
Jensen is on hand to help guests navigate it. You can trust her when
she recommends a glass of Trimbach Gewürztraminer to enjoy
with the spicy and smoky Octopus a la Plancha or a sampling of the
Ada Nada Cichin Barbaresco Riserva with their Snake River Farms
Wagyu Steak.
Although Courchevel Bistro sports wines from around the world,
it’s not surprising that this French-style bistro leans heavily toward
French fermented grapes. And why not? It makes perfect sense to
indulge in Château Bernadotte Bordeaux with an order of bison rib-
eye steak frites or to sip Domaine Richel Apremont with Arctic char
bouillabaisse, right?
Deer Valley Resort’s Mariposa restaurant tempts thirsty guests with
one of the best wine lists in the state. There is something for every-
body’s wine palate on the extensive list — but maybe you’d like an
expert to do the hard work of pairing wines for you. If so, just opt for
one of the multi-course tasting menus at Mariposa, which come with
sommelier-recommended wine pairings like a glass of Albert Bichot
Fixin or Domaine Faiveley Vosne-Romanée to sip alongside the rustic
Wild Mushroom Tart.
And finally, this list wouldn’t be complete without mention of 350
Main, a fine dining go-to in the heart of historic Park City. They’ve
received Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence every year since
1998 (the restaurant opened in 1995). Their curated Captain’s List
includes the finest French sparkling wines along with reds and
whites from vineyards as far flung as Africa and Argentina. n
