In a move that speaks to the ongoing shifts within the ski resort industry, the Utah-based operator POWDR has put Eldora Mountain Resort on the market.

According to KDVR, Eldora Mountain, a ski area located near Nederland, Colorado, is looking for new ownership. This disclosure comes as POWDR, which has owned Eldora since 2016, decided to part ways with several of its assets, including Killington Resort in Vermont and SilverStar Mountain Resort in British Columbia.

Despite the impending sale, operations for the 2024-25 ski season are expected to continue uninterrupted. An Eldora Mountain spokesperson assured that "we are dedicated to a seamless transition at all four resorts," as per 9NEWS. POWDR has publicly committed to maintaining the quality and continuity of its operations until each sale is finalized.

The investment bank JP Morgan, is handling the sale for Eldora, aiming to identify a suitable buyer who can continue to nurture the resort's established presence within the region. Eldora Mountain, which has been a fixture in Boulder County since its founding in 1962, boasts a rich legacy that POWDR has been a part of for the past eight years.

While Eldora's destiny remains uncertain, the transitions seem to be a strategic move by POWDR as it reshapes its portfolio. The company has a history of such transactions, notably when it sold Alpine Meadows in 2007, and more recently, the Lee Canyon ski area in Nevada to Mountain Capital Partners, as detailed by Colorado Sun. These changes in ownership and business structure within the ski industry reflect an ongoing trend of consolidation and repositioning amidst various stakeholders.
