Not as of Sunday's Post-Gazzette:

 

Hidden Valley

 

Want to buy a ski resort?

 

As the snowsports season approaches, Hidden Valley is still looking for a new owner.

 

The financially troubled resort, which has been advertised for sale in USA Today and the Wall Street Journal, was to be sold at a sheriff's sale in September for $704,570 in delinquent property taxes.

 

But it got a reprieve when the owners, the Kettler family of Washington, D.C., paid $500,000 an hour before the Sept. 19 sale. The family agreed to pay the $204,570 balance by Dec. 31 or when the property is sold. The taxes are owed for 2002 and 2003.

 

The Kettlers are willing to sell the entire resort or split it into separate portions that include the ski area, golf course, the residential site, the conference center and the water and sewage area.

 

Meanwhile, the resort is getting ready for the season with a variety of attractive offers.

 

It will again have "Super Value Tuesdays," when lift tickets for adults and children are only $15. Its Beginner Bonus Book, which includes two ski school lessons, two rental packages and two lift tickets, costs $79 and is good any day of the week.

 

Its $69 per person Midweek Madness package includes lodging, lift ticket, continental breakfast, $5 in Outback Park dining dollars and use of the fitness center and indoor pool. The price drops to $62 per person for two or more nights.

Three Hidden Valleys...the one in Joisey, as well as Hidden Valley Ski Area in Missouri; their moto: "It's never too dark to ski."

 

Hmmm...two Blue Mountains. There's also a Shawnee Peak ski area in Maine. There's another Camelback Mountain, but not for skiing. There's Squaw Valley and a closed Squaw in Colorado's Front Range about to reopen with another name.

 

There's cross country skiing at Sugarloaf in Canada, as well as downhill Sugarloaf, Maine. There's a Big Bear in PA, as well as a California Big Bear Lake Ski Area.

 

There's an Alpine Mountain in PA, and an Alpine Valley Ski Area in Michigan, as well as one in Ohio and another in Wisconsin.

 

There's a Mad River Glen and a Mad River Mountain Ski Resort in Ohio.

 

I was thinking about proposing we change The Hideout Ski Hill to Purgatory, since they aren't using it anymore.
