A Colorado company is unveiling details surrounding a $1 billion resort called Ever Vail that promises to be the largest green development of its kind.
Vail Resorts Inc. is planning the development at the base of Vail Mountain on 9.5 acres and says it will use a variety of green building techniques, including the use of geothermal heating, hydrogen power, reclaimed water and living roofs.
“Our announcement today is just the beginning of many more to come about our efforts to make sure Ever Vail is on the cutting edge of green building,” said Rob Katz, CEO at Vail Resorts. “We hope it will become a symbol of our intrinsic relationship with the spectacular mountain environment in which we operate.
Ever Vail will be the largest multi-use resort development certified through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program of the U.S. Green Building Council, the company said.
