A resort in the middle of a long rebuild
Sundance has moved quickly since its 2020 sale from Robert Redford to Broadreach Capital Partners and Cedar Capital Partners. The past five years have brought a first high-speed chairlift, a connector lift between the two mountains, the Wildwood terrain expansion, an outdoor spa, the Inn at Sundance, a new base lodge at Mountain Camp, and a significant trail network expansion for hiking and biking.
Last offseason continued that run with 9 new trails adding 60 acres of skiable terrain. The standout addition was Storyteller, a ridge run on the back mountain. The Electric Horseman project builds directly on that momentum.
