Quality in Pavement Preservation Nominee: Snow Basin Spring Road Repair 2023

Nu Rock Asphalt Coatings

Snow Basin Spring Road Repair 2023 was a pothole solution high in the mountains. In the heart of Utah’s majestic mountains lies Snow Basin Ski Resort, a destination known for its breathtaking beauty and pristine slopes. June 2023 presented an unprecedented challenge for Snow Basin. After a record-breaking snow year, the resort faced a critical issue. The roads, damaged and worn by ice and snowplows, threatened the success of a significant event: a grand wedding for the granddaughter of resort owner Earl Holding. A swift effective solution was crucial.

Enter the American Road Patch, a groundbreaking solution using high-strength fiberglass technology to create a durable, long-lasting seal with the road. Its simplicity and effectiveness meant that even a small, inexperienced team could implement it quickly, a vital factor given the tight turn-around time. The project was a race against time, with 19 potholes near the resort’s entrance needing immediate attention. Despite the challenges of the remote mountain location and a limited budget, the team, led by Rob Holland, efficiently repaired 165 feet of road, transforming it seamlessly. The project had effortless installation and will have lasting results.
