Anybody know when wolf creek is planning to start building their base village?

I think wolf creek will be a world class ski destination once the master plan for the base village is constructed. They have a completely blank canvas to do something really good and original. They could literally make it look like zermatt if they wanted to. The snow conditions are basically the best in north america because at 10300 ft base (almost as high as a basin) the avg annual snowfall of 480 inches wont start melting until june every year— so its like a basin with a little less vertical rise and an extra 130 inches of soft snow to play with.

the people standing in the way of the development need to eat shit and kill themselves. The undercover oligopoly shit pulled by existing resorts needs to stop. More competition will drive prices down and make overcrowded resorts like breck, vail, pc and deer valley less congested. The avg pitch/grade of wolf creek is also pretty ideal for intermediate-advanced skiers with easy areas where parents can teach their kids to ski. If they went the way of deer valley and alta and only allowed skiers i think that would make the prospects even more lucrative.

anyways. Does anybody know why the construction keeps getting delayed?

theres already an airport in pagosa springs i dont know how big it is tho. Its 5 hrs drive from denver which is why i think wolf creek would mostly be a rich east coast family vacation spot. The resort is pretty much all by itself.

Been there two separate trips. Definitely the demographic is mostly Texans, with a few locals sprinkled in. High prevalence of snowboarders. No one skis here though which was the appeal to me- leftovers for a week, literally. Tickets are less than average compared to most of CO, and nothing to fucking do in pagosa except get drunk or high every night. Not sure you can even fly into their single runway airport lol; every small town in America has one of these, mainly used for personal and medical aircraft.

Cool. Dont you think it would be lucrative to build a great resort village at the base tho?

Yeah but then it would lose much of what makes wolf creek what it is today. Not that they're the same, but imagine if they built a multimillion dollar hotel at the base of A Basin... Similar concept.

The only place you could put a condo at abasin is to put it in the parking lot. Without a parking lot why the fuck would anyone go?? Sure the condo would be sold fast but Abasin makes money off the normal people not rich. There’s not enough to make a huge base.

Couldnt you put condos on the side of the mountains? Alot of resorts (not even considering in the alps) already build real estate into the mountain so i dont know why you think it wouldnt work at a basin with some good old tnt

All the land that is not built on is Forest Service land. The base area and parking lot is private land but everything else is Forest service leased.

Why are the forest service people such uptight dicks then? If you want to make people truly love nature, letting them own a small condo at abasin would be a great way to do that.

I get that most forest service people would be to scared to take a bribe, but if they refuse a development at abasin or wolf creek because they have their nest egg invested in vail stock they are fucking assholes.
