Danbury, New Hampshire — After being put on the market earlier this year, Ragged Mountain has a new owner.
This week, it was announced that Ragged Mountain has been sold. It’s been acquired by SF Mountain Co., LLC (SFMC). According to New England Ski Industry, this local group consists of Seth Offen, Tristan Whitman, Carl Rominger, Josh Larkin, and Bill Morrison. The group grew up skiing at Ragged Mountain and has deep ties to the local community.
“Ragged has always been more than a ski area—it’s been a community,” said Carl Rominger of SFMC. “We’re committed to building on what makes this place special—great skiing, great people, and a genuine New Hampshire mountain experience.”
The new group plans to make various improvements. Early priorities include strengthening the employee culture, partnering with more local businesses, and analyzing potential offseason activities. More capital projects could be announced during the 2025-26 season.
The ski resort was previously owned by Doug Anderson, who was the chairman and majority investor of Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. (PGRI) operated the ski resort, but didn’t own it. Earlier this year, PGRI CEO Christian Knapp explained to the Storm Skiing Journal that Doug couldn’t sell it to himself.
Following a transition process, PGRI’s management tenure at Ragged will come to a close. 2025-26 pass products will retain access to PGRI’s partner mountains. PGRI intends to retain its existing ski resorts, which include Mt. Washington Alpine Resort, Jay Peak, Powderhorn, and Wisp.
The sale follows a recent trend of New England ski resorts being sold to local owners. In August 2024, POWDR sold Killington to a group of locals. In April 2025, the federal receivership ended at Burke, with longtime skiers at the mountain acquiring it. Both mountains are undergoing huge financial investments.
About Ragged Mountain Resort
First opened in 1965, Ragged Mountain is one of the gems of New England skiing. The ski resort features 57 trails, 5 lifts, 250 skiable acres, and a vertical drop of 1,250 feet. It’s well regarded for its glade network, many of which are situated between Ragged and Spear Mountains. During the summer, there’s room for growth, as they only host events at this point. Facing closure and bankruptcy on various occasions, it’s been able to withstand those headwinds and find its own passionate fan base.
