This Midwest outdoor recreation enterprise has a long track record of high profit margins during strong seasonal demand. The 30+acre ski park features 15 ski and snowboard runs, an expansive terrain park with 40+ features, and 11 snow tubing lanes, supported by 100% snowmaking coverage and six lifts to maximize operating days during a typical 75-day winter season.

It is estimated to replicate the Business’ 80+ acres with 30+ skiing terrain acres, 4 aerial lifts, 3 surface lifts, and 260+ foot drop amidst a 790+ foot terrain height along with the mechanical, electrical and environmental infrastructure, retention ponds, several publicly accessible buildings, plus the equipment maintenance and storage buildings on site would cost at least $30MM.

Current owners have upgraded maintenance and capital expenditures significantly in the five years since they acquired the complex. This includes 12 new snow making machine, Ski lifts, upper and lower level lodge updates, and more. And the SOPs for safety inspections, environmental testing and more have been modernized and fully documented by the new owners.

Having been in operation as one of the region’s few winter skiing, boarding and tubing parks in this Midwest setting for over forty years the Business’ brand is a house-hold name within a 100+ mile radius.


With this established brand, experienced staff, loyal customer base, and turnkey operation the Business provides a new owner a one-of-a-kind gem as far as Midwest ski parks go, plus significant potential for expansion into additional year-round activities, events, and hospitality services.
