8/30/13 - As the summer winds down, work continues on some massive renovations at Mount Brighton in Genoa Township. Construction has been ongoing all summer, with visible progress being made. Colorado-based Vail Resorts acquired the property and is investing $10 million on new base area facilities and chairlifts, increased snowmaking capabilities, slope re-grading and a racing hill expansion. Thatâs in addition to a new childrenâs center and a complete remodeling of the restaurant and lodge area, which hasnât had much work done since 1980. While itâs a tight time frame, the goal is to have the work complete in time for the upcoming winter sports season. Vail Resorts also recently announced that it has added eight more mountains in France to its Epic Pass. Season pass holders get free skiing at Vailâs partner resorts around the world, which includes a total of 26 mountains in the US, Switzerland, Austria and France. (JM)
