e~bIs pow worth living the rest of your life in debt?
sellingerThat's actually a really good price. The land alone would cost that much, never mind the fact the infrastructure is staying. I'd be willing to bet that someone will buy this out and use as their own winter getaway.
mhuddy_22Already have a plan haha! 20 of us at our school have already talked about it. 7,500 grand for each of us and that will pay the cost. Renovate the existing building into a lodge that you can sleep in. Basically will be a sick party/vacation/ski house. Any other NSers in on this?
Volvo242Ns should do fundraising and buy this mountain.
J-Dunnplace looks fun. If it had lift access to them top bowls it would be insane. Could have a siiiick park plus pow runs
ski_free_17That's what the included cat is for! So here's my completely unrealistic plan:
We get 150 people to throw in $1,000 each to buy it. Then we sell everything we don't need and convert the restaurant/bar into a giant dorm/bar with bunk beds and a sweet apres lounge. Everyone takes turns bumping chairs and driving the cat while the others ski. Any nsers who didn't pay in can come and ski and stay with a small donation for food, beer, and fuel for the cat. And then to make sure we can pay for electricity and other costs, we operate it like Cartmanland, where we only allow enough non-nsers each day to break even to maximize the pow per person. Our "you can't ski here" business model blows up, we make just enough money to stay open and fed, and everyone lives happily ever after in our Idaho utopia. What could possibly go wrong?

KravtZThere is no way the mountain is operable as is. Needs serious renovation. For $175,000...im sure its worth it for land value alone, but chances are if investors have been weary to keep the place open, chances are there is MUCH more than meets the eye in terms of problems.
I know 2 people who seriously are looking at buying this...more as a land investment / west coast ski compound to renovate for personal use. I think the biggest problem is just its location vs what it has to offer. A small mountain (potential for good snowfall) but in the middle of no where. No hotels, etc. Hard to attract traffic when you have world class Sun Valley not to far away and closer to airport. Sun Valley isn't ever that crowded anyways.
I think it would be sick if you had $175,000 to blow though on the land. Put up a nice house, get the lift operable. Close enough to Sun Valley for when the snow isn't right on your own mtn.
