rwmaron Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) From an article in yesterday's NYTimes: "Today, six years after its bankruptcy, the Yellowstone Club is thriving. In the last two years alone, the club has sold nearly $1 billion in real estate. It has doubled its membership, which includes the likes of Bill Gates and the investor and Hollywood producer Peter Chernin, to more than 500 households from 260 in 2009, and it is gearing up for what is likely to be its busiest winter since the club broke ground more than 15 years ago. Untrammeled trails do come with a price. Patrons must own property. The smallest condominiums cost about $4 million, and single-family homes start at $5 million, with annual assessments in the thousands of dollars. There is also an initial fee of $300,000, in addition to $36,000 a year for dues. Only members, their families and guests have access to the club, with its ski-in, ski-out homes that typically include ski rooms with individual lockers, heated driveways, bunk rooms and $5,000 boot dryers. They have access to 15 chairlifts, an 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf and three ski lodges, the largest of which is the 140,000-square-foot Warren Miller Lodge at the base of Pioneer Mountain. There are no fences, but the surrounding 250,000 acres of Gallatin National Forest and a security team run by a former Secret Service officer are reassurance enough; many guests do not even lock their doors". Sounds a bit plush for most of us..... Russ Edited January 2, 2015 by rwmaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsiorTheFathead Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I want to be a guest there. Somebody on the forum should buy a place. I wonder how the grooming and snowmaking are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just think of the hilarious short film you could make of 5 or 10 carvers trenching the Yellowstone Club into oblivion, and the priceless reaction shots of the other skiers in their $5,000 Bogner fart bags. Only problem is...I'm not so sure there's anyone here with pockets deep enough to buy a condo at Yellowstone Club. Maybe a group buy: are there 400 carvers who would chip in $10k apiece for 1/400 of a condo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpyride Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 We have a condo a big sky and our neighbor has some friends in the Yellowstone Club, and one is a former Snowboard Racer (don't know his name), and the two of them are considered Snow Gods for their carving. Maybe I'll get an invite, not that I particularly care, enough to do at Big Sky and Moonlight to keep a body busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
