Our online auction of the former Elk Meadows Ski Resort in Beaver County, Utah has received a substantial amount of media coverage. This is probably due to the fact that mountains don’t get auctioned on the internet everyday. Needless to say, I have had a good time reading reporters’ different approaches to the story.

The ski community has been drooling over the idea of owning a ski resort in Central Utah. For instance, Kraig Becker of Glading.com wrote the Elk Meadows auction story as if he were letting wealthy skiers in on a Black Friday special . Websites like SkiNet.com even joked about having a private mountain just for subscribers.

No matter which trail the journalists chose, the auction of a mountain is interesting in itself and the Elk Meadows auction is coming to a close. To see the final bids or to actually take part in the fantasy of owning your own mountain, see the auction at LFC.com.
