| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
This association has yet to fully capitalize on its recent investments in overhauling the resort. New owners will seek to allow it to continue on its natural growth trajectory, while further promoting the resort to outdoor enthusiasts. This summer, the resort will capitalize on its downhill mountain bike offering and hiking activities for the first time. Owners that seek to further develop the property may seek to explore adding back country skiing trails, and a snowboard park complete with half-pipes, jumps and obstacles or even heli-skiing. |

|
| Competition:
Due to the limited number of mountains that can be developed for skiing or snowboarding, the extremely high investment costs of such development, as well as the lengthy permitting and licensing process, there are significant barriers to entry for potential new competitors. |
