Collapse of the recreational ski village market?
Yesterday I posted an article about the bankruptcy of ultra luxury mountain communities — Yelllowstone Club, Promontory, and Tamarack.
Here is one of a number still unbuilt, and now being canceled.

Like I noted in my earlier comment on the article posted yesterday, now is the time for Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the local open space tax program staff to sit down with the owners and the ski area folks to cherrypick and buy the nicest ecological portions of this property. The less-sensitive parts would remain to be used for future base development – the time is now, not when the next guy picks up the ball on a fullscale development.
I hope they are listening or have apprehended the opportunity already.
