Ski The PNW & Want Your Own Hill -- Spout Springs Ski Area


Each time I see a ski area come up for sale, I start to wonder if this might be the one that becomes the Ski Rex Media Ski Area & Resort. But, in this case of this listing, would I be willing to take my east coast ways to the Pacific Northwest?

Since I love my brothers & sisters no matter where they ski or ride, I'm thinking I would be more than fine with moving the HQ to Oregon, which is the home of Spout Springs Ski Area. Weston, OR to be more precise. With a price tag of $1.25 million for a near turn-key ski operation, it isn't a bad price. Let's take a look at what the realtor has said about the property.

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

Spout Springs Ski Area - Beautiful Winter Views
Spout Springs Ski Area is a family-owned and operated facility that is located in the Umatilla National Forest in the heart of the Blue Mountains in Northeastern Oregon.
 
Spout Springs, covering 1413 Acres of leased Forest Service land has been in continuous operation since the late 1920s. Sprout Springs features 14 downhill runs and two Nordic trail systems, 2 double Chair Lifts, and lighted slopes for night skiing. With a family-oriented atmosphere, the ski area offers opportunities for the beginning skier as well as the advanced. The ski area boasts 250 skiable acres and is expandable to include additional ski runs, cabins, and overnight / hotel facilities.

Located on Highway 204 between Weston and Elgin, the resort is easily accessible on state highways from the population centers of Walla Walla, Pendleton, and La Grande. All State highways to the site are well-maintained throughout the winter season.

Have a look at the photos on the listing from loopnet.com and you can see that the facility is in great shape. The lodge and kitchen are clean and well maintained, a nice, small groomer fleet, and the rental shop is wicked organized. Have you ever thought about running your own hill? With this kind of price tag, which isn't much relatively speaking, and the right investors, this could be your chance.
