Used to ski there a lot when I lived in Traverse City.I really wish the drone footage wasn't so dark when it goes through the main loby, sitting area and restaurants. This place was pretty cool back in the day.
This drone pilot is pretty good at this.
The ownership situation is so complicated you wouldn't even know who to ask.With the high price of lumber these days, I wonder if there isn't a lot of valuable material that could be salvaged, including some furniture.
This is so sad. I work in this type of construction and can tell that at one time this place must have been beautiful. I hate to see good buildings go to waste. Hopefully it doesn't fall to the fate of Grey Rocks....so much alcohol in the floors it burnt longer than it should have.
I will go read the story BTW..it may answer some of my questions.So cool. Footage feels like it belongs in a zombie apocalypse or some other story about a distopean future. It made me feel sad and melancholy as I saw the big common rooms and the all the hotel rooms and wondered who made memories there and had good times there.
For those of those that know nothing about Midwest skiing:
What else can you tell us about this resort that has passed into the memories of yesteryear? I'm sure some of you guys have seen the "forgotten resorts" that are out there specific to CO..I think. I find this stuff absolutely fascinating for some reason.
- When did it open?
- When did it go out of business?
- What was cool about it?
- Why did it go out of business?
- Looks like the golf course is still active there?
Aaaand...sadly no. It linked to the full story at Powder mag which doesn't have the link.I will go read the story BTW..it may answer some of my questions.
