(AA) A "Summer Ski Resort" making $200K / season

Hi folks, Will here from the Acquisitions Anonymous team. Today's episode looked at a unique business opportunity: a summer ski resort in Wyoming that operates only about 40 days a year. Talk about thin ice. It's called Beartooth Basin, nestled in a remote section of the Beartooth Highway. It includes two high-speed lifts powered by portable diesel generators. But the economics are pretty small: the resort can handle up to 100 skiers per day, with tickets priced at $50 each. So, under perfect conditions, they max out at about $200K in revenue for the season. However, there are some big questions here. The resort relies on a 20-year permit for operations, and with no built infrastructure, every day is a gamble with the weather. Also, why is the ticket price so low? Seems like it might not be a cash cow after all. Takeaways - Operating only 40 days a year makes for a tricky revenue model; weather and conditions can cut that short. - The resort's unique concept might attract niche customers, but the pricing is puzzling for a ski experience. - It’s essential to investigate the actual cash flow versus the potential revenue claims. - With no infrastructure, everything hinges on that generator – if it fails, so does the business.
