wow you read minds

One day I might let you in on the grand plan
but I will give you a hint. It involves ordinary people!! And thousands getting the chance to experience sliding on snow!

You should be for that.

there is nothing under a $1mil on the market that wont require a few million in basic operational improvements to re-open.

Theres a place near Tahoe but the chairlifts wont pass state inspection.

Maple Valley is $2mil firm(think they want to a make a subdivision out of it) and the chair lifts are very close to not passing inspection. Also not enough snowmaking to survive a east coast winter..one of the reasons its closed. but for $2mil you could lay new pipes and install new pumps but then you a little problem of not having the water rights to feed the system.

Whaleback has potential and someone is working on it already.

a few places in the mid west are cheap but you get what you pay for.

here are resources for you:
www.saminfo.com check the classifieds
www.snowjournal.com site is deticated to lost ski areas
www.nelsap.org
forgot the address but you can also search for 'west coast lost ski areas' it might be wlsap.com ? ??

this is the dumbest fucken thread ive ever seen. this fucken retard isnt going to buy a ski hill, hes not going to do anything. this guy has to write posts like this so people respond to him, because hes got no friends in the world and this makes him feel special. your probably a pimply little 16 year old cunt whos never had a girlfriend cant ski worth shit and secretly sticks his finger in his ass, finds men attractive but promises himself he isnt gay. your a retard, your posts are fucken stupid. I hope you die.

you can rent out my backyard for like 10k a year and just make a nice park that i can use. i'll even let you take drinks out of my fridge and use my toilet. you can even have your own toothbrush at my house.

finding a ski resort or even a mountain, for less than a million is immpossible, you couldnt even buy a good sized house in vail for under a million and you definately wont buy a ski mountain

marshall moutain by missoula montana is for sale for like $500,000 ,it went out of business in 02, then the city of Missoula bought it and ran it for 03 and during 04 o one ran it and its still for sale. its so low it doesnt get enough snow so you would have to invest a lot in snow making if you bought it. message me for more info

Whaleback is no longer for sale as far as I know, I am pretty sur someone bought it. It is actually in a sweet place and could make sick park on it, it is only like 45 minutes north of Concord right on 89. As far as I know it was being sold for a million, pretty cheap in ski area terms. But I am pretty sure it has been bought already and will be open next year.
