Pikes Peak Colorado Ski Resort

Ski area planned for Pikes Peak 350 condos, 300-room hotel may be included.John Ball, former CEO of Eller Industries, a Boulderbased broadband company, has a contract with local climbing legend Harvey Carter to buy 320 acres south of The Crags. He plans to build The Resort at Pikes Peak, a renewable-energy-powered ski area with slopeside condos.
Ball envisions a community hill used mainly by residents of El Paso and Teller counties. It could eventually include five chairlifts, 33 ski trails, three restaurants, a 300-room hotel and 350 condos.
It would be part of a trend in niche family hills that survive in the shadows of corporate giants like Vail Resorts by being closer to cities and therefore more convenient for skiers and snowboarders.

"It would be like Eldora, just above Boulder," Ball said Wednesday. So if you want to get in now before it's to late and prices increase in this area Call Brian Lloyd today at 719-243-4057 and lets get you into something today.

Oh wonderful. Visited there with my Dad when his sister lived in Colorado Springs & they were both alive. I remember going a couple of times in the 60's. I don't remember any skiing then. Definitely no snow machines...but there was snow in June!! So glad to see it's still survivng.

I remember Scott Carter telling me about this idea back in the 80's. I never met Harvey but it sounds like the same location up near the crags. Great video and it would spice up an already great area. Joe.
