Here is a quick summary of what is going on for those who haven't posted on this thread.
Timberline, the ski area, still does not have power/phone service (since April?) Web site is still not selling season tickets for upcoming year - in years past, I would buy my season pass in May. Equipment from last year (snow guns, etc.) was apparently left in place from last season. Looks like lift/snow making *maintenance* activity was just started in the past week (at a level TBD but appears to be sketchy.) Several people have season passes (multi-year) for the upcoming season and own real estate at the base of the area. Will the area open and if it does, what can you expect for facilities/quality of skiing?
The Timberline Four Seasons Utility, is owned by the ski area principals and ?. It has had a current boil water notice (for over a week now) for failure to properly staff operators. Additionally, it has not paid a partner utility for sewage treatment - this is affecting the financial stability of the partner utility. This is a subject of legal action linked in this thread. In these court documents, unpaid taxes to the state and possible transfer of funds to/from the utility/ski area have been *raised* by the state. Innocent until proven guilty...
There is a related Timberline Four Seasons Realty, owned by the same people and ? It is also *apparently* having phone\payroll\financial issues.
This whole mess is affecting recreation and property ownership/usage in the Canaan Valley area of West Virginia.
Prolly clear as mud...
