Yeah its true, now is your chance to buy your very own premiere terrain park. Its all yours for 30 million New Zealand dollars - thats about 20.5 million in USD.

That is less than most top investment bankers' bonuses in the last few years, but not this year.

The snowmaking facility + piping and equipment would have to be worth NZ$10m+ there wouldn't it?
NZ$30m actually doesn't sound toooo bad, there is definitely long term scope for expansion there

so say if member did pitch in a said amount of money for ns to buy it would it be like a mortgage and we would get it back eventually or could it be like every nser that gave some money gets a life time season pass to the place?

Don't forget upkeep. That would be very expensive and I don't think people on NS would be will to pay for it because not all of NS lives by Snowpark. I don't doubt that it would be fun to have a NS resort, but one would need to still keep it open to the public to have some form of revenue and/or one could sell season passes to Newschoolers for another form of revenue.

yo that is so sick im not gunna buy it lol but honestly the 20 mill it is or 30 mill or even 40 mil is not that much at all for a ski resort like that. im sure if someone honestly really wanted to buy it they could maybe do it
