Hoping they go Ikon for me!!
That Instagram account is a realtor not Peaks.Advertising prices? On Instagram? Pretty low brow for an “exclusive” and “luxury” club. Makes me think they are struggling to find buyers in the traditional referral and word of mouth method that most private clubs operate under.
oohhhIt’s for real! I have friends who have skied there, one yesterday. They already have lifts to the top & ski operations have been going at least since last season.
Here’s what he posted yesterday…

Not sure how frequent the skiing privileges (if any) would be & I'm a pretty frequent skier . I will say that I have considered it though. A friends kid was patrolling there last year & didn't return . Best scenario would be for the private thing to fail & the whole thing go public. It is obvious that there is demand for more ski terrain in the west.@4ster
Might be worth getting a part time gig there so you can get the ski privileges. If I lived closer I would definitely consider it.
My friends in Morgan County are not happy. With increased property values come increased taxes, not a positive if it is your forever home. We've experienced the same in the Ogden Valley.The residents who live below the resort are really having issues with avy control blasting. The little town of Peterson is literally right there, with a lot of homes that have been there for generations snugged up against the property boundary. I think that is an issue the county commissioners did not consider (among a lot of other things.) The whole thing has added to the prices of homes skyrocketing in Morgan County.
My reply to his post: “I’m always available ”.oohhh
sometime good to have friends, especially if they share
I think your point was the pitch to the county when the project was initially approved.@4ster @AmyPJ
I would think Wasatch Peaks from a strictly property tax perspective would be a huge positive not a negative. This development would greatly increase the tax base among a user base that wouldn't pit much strain on resources including schooling. We're talking wealthy owners with multi million dollar properties that are not there all that often.
From a strictly property tax consideration it doesn't get much better for the city
From a property tax perspective I think that pitch is spot on. I also think it is by far the least intrusive way of developing that land as well. If that land is going to be developed, a private area with part time residents and large lots is by far the least impactful change to the character of the community.I think your point was the pitch to the county when the project was initially approved.
That's been the pitch. But it still doesn't address the added burden on the existing residents, many who have been there for decades and who are now on a fixed income. The added burden comes from increasing home values overall. It's a double-edged sword--people of modest means are priced out both by the high costs of homes plus the high costs of property taxes, particularly compared to what they used to be.@4ster @AmyPJ

Agreed with all of this.From a property tax perspective I think that pitch is spot on. I also think it is by far the least intrusive way of developing that land as well.

To be honest, if I were a resident and that land was going to be developed, Wasatch Peaks is exactly what I would want even if I never got to use it. If the neighbors are unhappy with Wasatch Peaks, their life would be hell if that was a public ski resort.
