Update 10:30 a.m.

Granby Ranch CFO Dustin Lombard just now presented a check to county officials to cover its delinquent tax obligation. The property has now been returned to Granby Ranch’s ownership.

And apparently they ran a check down.

Oy. Can’t be a good sign though. These don’t go that far through a seizure process because someone forgot to mail a check.

and mega ski resorts don't get picked up on the cheap because someone put a critical lease in their drawer and then got sacked and no-one thought to look for it....

oh wait.

Just saying ski resorts aren't necessarily at the pinnacle of great admin practices.

It was a misunderstanding according to the CEO.

I skied there on a Saturday night in Feb. 2006 when it was called Solvista. We were staying in condos at bottom of the hill and it was free so I did 5 laps. Lit runs were not that exciting so I tried a couple that were only indirectly lit.

I think there’s an opportunity here for a HGTV show, like a ski area version of House Hunters or fix ‘n flip.

Authorities seize Granby Ranch ski resort; CEO calls it ‘misunderstanding’

This struck me as a bit interesting. Emphasis mine.

Whitmer confirmed that Granby Ranch has paid the full balance of its unpaid tax liability. She added, however, that the resort has not paid its "real" property taxes — which are taxes on immovable properties and lands — to the county for the past two years and remain outstanding.

The article states that they still haven't paid real property taxes in 2 years.

They could call it Colorado Flip and Move. Business would be a lot better if they moved the place closer to I70. Gonna need some jumbo I-beams tho...
