If you have ever gotten swept away in daydreams of owning your own professional grade ski resort equipment then you may enjoy spending some time on skiresortequipment.com.  It’s like a craigslist for used skilifts, snowguns and just about everything else you need to operate a ski resort.

You can buy anything from a fixed quad for $450,000….

…to a little rope tow designed for tubing for $9,000

Alright, so you have your lift sorted, now you need to make sure there is enough coverage to use them. Might I suggest a SMI Polecat Snowgun…you can own one for a cool $9,000 (a guy in Pennsylvania named Vince has 5 of them, you might get a kick down if you buy a few.)

Finally you will need a snowcat or two to push around that snow you just made. If your budget is tight and you’re not scared of a little engine work this Bombardier Snowcat SW75 in New Jersey is only $3,500:

If you want to get a bit more spendy you could go with this 1998 Piston Bully for €65,0000 but you have to go to Ukraine to pick it up. 

And then there’s my person favorite, the converted 1991 GMC Passenger Van. This puppy holds 12 passengers and only has 2,400 hours on it. So much room for activities.

Hope this is good food for thought for all you dreamers out there.   Have fun checking out the site HERE.
