From Forbes:
Here’s how it works. Members buy plots of land on Powder Mountain (early lots were rumored to have sold for $1 million a pop), build a home and get access to a private lodge and thousands of acres of skiing, riding, biking and hiking. Membership to Summit also brings a year-round program of speakers, conferences and concerts. The goal is to create a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who dig the Summit ethos of innovation, art and social impact with some hard partying mixed in.
You had me at skiing. And hiking. And community…
I wish them luck, but isn’t this the same concept as the Yellowstone Club in Montana, which went through bankruptcy?
The Summit folks have put on some pretty big events and have a lot of traction organizing a large-scale community. I think this’ll be more than just a private ski mountain.
FWIW, Powder Mountain is one of the funnest places I have ever skied. Endless backcountry terrain, Cat rides for $10, and cheap heli rides too. (Never done the heli rides, but wanted too…)
Good to know! All the more reason for me to start saving my pennies to move…
