Sundance Resort to Host Chairlift Vigil for Robert Redford

Sundance will host a 'Chairlift Light Vigil' in Redford's honor and to celebrate his life on September 18, 2025, from 8-10 p.m.

Guests will be given battery-powered candles to ride the Outlaw Express, free of charge. A minimum suggested donation of $5 is encouraged and proceeds will go to the Sundance Nature Alliance.

The Sundance Nature Alliance (SNA) works to protect and preserve the land and watershed in the North Fork of Provo Canyon. Land stewardship through art and nature is one of the organization's pillars, in honor of Redford's legacy. SNA also helps to conserve and create climate resilient landscapes by helping to restore streams, wetlands, and native plant communities.

"With his generous spirit, kind nature, and artistic vision, Bob created something no one else could have built. Always looking ahead, his commitment to this canyon was a calling that went beyond love. The Sundance brand he built – rooted in this place – has touched so many lives and will continue to benefit generations who love this preserved land.”
said Chad Linebaugh, President and General Manager of Sundance Mountain Resort in a social media post from the resort on Redford's passing.

Sundance Mountain Resort has also created a temporary memorial in the Resort Village at the Rehearsal Hall Pond and guests are invited to pay their respects to Redford.
