• Your gift goes directly towards helping Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History (FOSMMH) take immediate, essential steps to preserve the integrity of two collapsing historic structures: Silver King Headframe and Thaynes Headframe. 
• Preserving these buildings means preserving a piece of Parkite history. 
• Located on Park City Mountain, these structures are the highlight of the only ski resort mining history tour in North America: Silver to Slopes Historic Ski Mining Tour.  
• The large buildings, the tunnels, shafts, boarding houses, and ore bins have always been a special, historical part of skiing in Park City. 
• No other ski area, in North America, has such a visual reminder of how the land was used in earlier times.

• These properties create a sense of community, belonging and pride, and they communicate local values to the rest of the world.

THANKS TO YOU, FOSMMH HAS ALREADY SAVED THESE HISTORIC MINING STRUCTURES:

We recently completed Phase 2 of work on the multi-year project to save the Alliance Watchman's Cabin.  Thanks to all of you who donated in 2021 and 2022 to help fund this work.
