This week’s deal is a $5 million ski resort in the remote Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, complete with a 20,000 sq ft lodge, 35 ski trails, 15 cabins, an RV park, and a single lift facing a pristine alpine lake. But what sounds like a winter wonderland quickly raises red flags: there are no financials listed, no clear cash flow, and heavy CapEx lurking beneath the snow. Key Highlights: - $4.9M price tag for 230 acres in Wyoming with ski and summer amenities - 800 ft vertical drop, 1 ski lift, cabins, bar, restaurant, wedding venue - No stated revenue or EBITDA—possibly breakeven at best - Remote location = staffing, access, and utility maintenance challenges - Hosts suspect it's better for a cult compound or tax-optimized lifestyle than a business investment
