The bank that holds the mortgage on the Snö Mountain ski resort and Snö Cove water park has foreclosed on the property, which is scheduled to be sold at a sheriff's sale next month . . .

This is not surprising. I'll be interested to see what happens.

IMHO: The cause of the demise was the water park. It was too much too soon. They should have waited 10 yrs before that made a capital investment of that size.

The ski area has potential. It just needs the right owner.

I said it last time we saw this. The paper is extremely biased (no idea why, but things are strange politically in Scranton), and I've heard from a reliable source that it's going to be taken care of/negotiated/whatever before the sale.

They are definitely in significant debt, however they're also doing very well business-wise, they've been getting great crowds, and from what I've heard, that waterpark is doing pretty well, surprisingly.

EDIT: That said, I don't know how they're ever going to pay that much debt off, $5 million is lot of money to make from a small ski area.

On a side note to struggling ski areas I read that Bear Valley in California will not operate for summer activities and has laid off several employee's.

Sounds like good news. A long road ahead, though.
