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.

Elk Meadows

LFC is Auctioning A Mountain?

Yes, that is correct. We are pleased to announce the latest campaign on our commercial property auction website LFC.com: the former Elk Meadows Ski Resort in southwestern Utah’s Beaver County. The property, comprising more than 1,100 acres of beautiful recreational land, is surrounded by a half-dozen of Utah’s most renowned national parks, including Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Dixie National Forest and Fishlake National Forest. Elk Meadows is secluded yet accessible; the mountain is less than three hours from several of Utah’s major metropolitan areas, including St. George, Provo and Salt Lake City.

For 25 years, Elk Meadows was the secret getaway for skiers and snowboarders looking to escape the mammoth crowds of Salt Lake City and Park City in northern Utah. However, the mountain’s proximity to several national parks made it a popular destination during off-season, as well. In summer, guests enjoyed mountain biking, horseback riding, ATVing, fishing, hang gliding and more. Throughout the years, Elk Meadows was a popular destination for vacationers from southern Utah, southern California, Phoenix, Arizona and northern Nevada. In fact, Elk Meadows is less than a four hour drive from Las Vegas, Nevada.

It’s not everyday that one can just go out and buy a mountain on the internet. Check out the auction and more of its details on this truly unique commercial real estate auction at LFC.com/L1.

Give us a shout: What would you do with your own mountain?
