Own a ski hill (or two)?
Looks like a few local ski hills in BC have fallen on hard times and are now up for sale. Mount Baldy in the Okanagan and Mount Washington on Vancouver Island are both up for sale. So if you have a spare few million dollars under the sofa or a million friends with ten bucks each you may just be able to live the dream and own your very own ski hill.
Here are all the deets on Mount Baldy:
According to a news release, G-Force Real Estate Inc. has been appointed marketing agent for a secured creditor of Mount Baldy, under a B.C. Supreme Court foreclosure action. Mount Baldy’s Idaho owners tried to raise cash to open the ski area last season, but failed.
G-Force Real Estate Inc. is looking for a new owner to take most of the assets of Mount Baldy Ski Corporation and complete a purchase in time to open the resort for the upcoming ski season.
Mount Baldy is just one of a number of ski resorts that has have fallen on hard times in the past few season.
There has been no official word on the purchase price.
