The snowfall there is absurd. They have 320 inches and its only February. I think if they could add new mountains to make up for their relatively small vert (1600 ft) they would be a very big attraction to rich vacationers and condo buyers. They literally have a blank canvas to build
a gorgeous village however they want. Im thinking it could become the deer valley of colorado, real estate wise.

Dude just bc u love colorado is no reason to not want other people to migrate there. The ppl who move to colorado will probly be just as stoked or more stoked on living in colorado than the natives. Plus
Alot of the immigrants bring alot of money to the
State.

Maybe, maybe not. It's within the national forest so I'm gonna say no to condos and houses, maybe to expansion of the resort boundaries. They're pretty decent size considering total acreage even with their short vertical.

This year was the first year I've been there and I would be against this idea. There's a reason I don't go to places like Deer Valley and Breckenridge...

It's so far from the nearest airport that unless a closer one is built, this would probably never become a busy place anyway. Development would be a waste of money.

Damn.
I heard it on good authority that wolf creek definitely had alot of developers in the process of designing a major resort. With the snowfall of 400 inches a year at a high enough altitude that it doesnt melt like it does at jackson hole, there should be huge incentive to build a powder utopia.
