Out here, it is going to be pretty hilarious when that social media influencer group that bought pow mow goes belly up. Their plan is like what most ski developers (already ambitious) would come up with while high.
+ 1. I am surprised they have lasted as long as they have. For those that don't know....this is who they are.....
They have get togethers for rich kids and do a lot of talking and whatever.
Their vision: https://www.curbed.com/2014/6/3/10092244/powder-mountain-owners-want-to-expand-resort-change-world
Here is a story of their purchase. Click on the video to watch what they say they are....and you pretty quickly see that it really is a bunch of rich people getting together, doing things like tagging sharks and listening to people talk...and talk...with some yoga, lots of partying, and maybe giving money to charity. And Pow Mow is their new HQ.

Another glitzy video of their utopia....
And why am I so skeptical? Watch this video and you will get why I think this is a bunch of BS...fast-forward to about :50 and listen to a woman brag about how she built a "nest" out of "100% natural materials". WTF? :blink:
It is this kind of ridiculous crap that drives me nuts.
Despite the claim in the video that they are "preserving" the mountain, they are not. They are making it their own party paradise and the locals are pretty rip shit. From their loud parties every night of the week in the small, LDS community of Eden, to their recent attempt to suck up a lot of the local water, they are not making friends or influencing people.
Sorry, I just hate to see the mountain ruined.
