Park City, UT — Big-D Signature has successfully completed construction of the Sugarloaf Patrol Building, the highest-elevation project in the company’s history.
Situated at 10,550 feet at Alta Ski Resort, this 600-square-foot, two-story ski patrol hut provides Alta’s ski patrol team with a critical vantage point over the Sugar Bowl area, enhancing safety for skiers in a previously difficult-to-monitor location.
“This project was about more than just construction; it’s truly transformative for Alta’s ski patrol operations,” said Alec Mitcheff, project manager, Big-D Signature.
The project presented unique challenges, including navigating steep and rugged terrain, fluctuating mountain weather, and an exceptionally tight construction timeline. The high-altitude environment required extraordinary adaptability, as thin air made even simple tasks more demanding, pushing the team to pace themselves and find innovative solutions.
“Mountain projects like this don’t just require skill; they demand adaptability and teamwork,” said Grant Gagon, project superintendent, Big-D Signature.
Collaboration was central to the project’s success. Alta Ski Resort’s team provided critical support throughout, and being selected as the contractor for this project was a significant honor for Big-D Signature.
The Sugarloaf Patrol Building was completed in just two and a half months, a testament to the resilience and dedication of the team. This achievement highlights the power of collaboration and innovation in overcoming the logistical and environmental challenges of high-altitude construction.
The Sugarloaf Patrol Building now stands as a transformative addition to Alta Ski Resort and a significant milestone for Big-D Signature, reflecting the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
