Snow Valley isn’t the one misplaced Vermont ski space that’s at present available on the market. Since its final ski season in 2017-2018, Plymouth Notch in Vermont has sat deserted. Listed at $6.5 million, it’s among the many greatest ski resorts obtainable available on the market: 800 acres (150 acres of skiable terrain at present) with room for enlargement, an enormous snowmaking pond with potential for 100% path protection, an 8000-square-foot base lodge, Vermont ACT 250 approval for 66 housing models across the base space and additional improvement on the ski space, and extra.
Final weekend, whereas I used to be in Vermont for a visit to Okemo and Killington, I made a decision to cease by Plymouth Notch to see the present situation of the ski space. I used to be pleasantly shocked by what I discovered. The ski space continues to be in nice form, and there was even a upkeep crew engaged on the mountain whereas I used to be there. Then got here the spotlight of the day: seeing the elevate truly working.
I obtained to talk with a member of their upkeep crew, who defined to me that the proprietor who’s promoting the ski space has them maintain the property in tip-top form. This contains mowing the slopes, cleansing the bottom lodge, and operating their double chairlift, with the hopes of the customer stepping in and having a turnkey snowboarding operation. He additionally confirmed to me that the ski space continues to be on the market.
Since its opening in 1965, Plymouth Notch has had a tumultuous historical past. The mountain has been often known as Spherical Prime, Bear Creek, and most not too long ago as Plymouth Notch. A number of proposals previously had prior homeowners desirous to increase the ski slopes and actual property/condominium models, however the cash has by no means been in place to really make it occur. The mountain has closed a number of occasions: In 1982, 2010, and most not too long ago in 2018.

As I discussed with Snow Valley’s latest itemizing, Plymouth Notch is in a tough spot to compete with the Vermont giants. It’s nestled in between Okemo and Killington and can be near Pico and Saskadena Six. Working a personal ski membership once more is a troublesome promote, because the Hermitage Membership in Vermont does it higher with nicer services and trendy lifts. Having Plymouth Notch be an inexpensive ski space and permitting uphill skinners to shred there, might be the best way to go.
