philw Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't know Canadian company law, but what's their turnover/ profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Family owned since 1974 i believe. So the only information you get is what they want to give you. If you are interested i can give you a good corporate tax real estate lawyer contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) What's the ROM for this thing, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions? Edited September 21, 2016 by Neil Gendzwill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 heh, yea, a starting price or ballpark would be cool. It does have some sweet views, and from what I have heard, over 1000' vertical isn't bad for a Canadian mountain. I however, would be only a dreamer and not a prospect....

Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 But, these days, it'll need a snowmaking upgrade, as the temps along the coast have not been as consistently cold as they once were. And if they use old Hall chairs, the spare parts are all at Smuggs and Bromley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Yes, think hard about why it is offered for sale. The significantly cold part of winter for our North Island ski fields lasted only 5-6 weeks this year. And the owner of those fields has now removed their snow making guns supposedly because they were "a waste of money". More likely it was no longer consistently cold enough to usefully use them. Having seen recent years sea surface temperature maps for the north west coast of USA & Canada (search for "JPL sea surface temperature") I wouldn't want to be hanging onto Grouse Mountain as an asset into the longer term future.
