I was up at BV a few weeks ago and got this version from the bartender. BV is not for sale, but they are seeking investors to help defray some costs associated with renovations. He also said that the owners had received offers to sell outright and they refused. Says the "vision" is to have interested parties invest. I was concerned about the rumors and my recently purchased season passes but I was assured that they would be up and running for the 2013-2014 season.
Call me naive, gullible or optimistic but my fingers are crossed! :
The cross country trails/service center are not for sale, they are owned by a different partnership.
However one half of that partnership is also one of the partners in the ski area, the BV Lodge complex in town, and the Base Camp Lodge in town which is the package that is for sale.
The last time that mymotherlode.com did a story on BV Mountain Resort they ran the same picture of the cross country trails. I posted a comment to that article but I guess mymotherlode.com just doesn't get it! ???
Is the cross country ski area part of the package being offered for sale? Just curious. The picture in the article shows cross country skiers…
I read this this morning

Hope some $$ comes in and they can keep the plans moving.

Received an email this week from a friend who owns a cabin on Sierra Parkway in Unit 9. She gave me permission to post her email:
"I saw a mountain lion today just after 6:00 p.m. I was reading in the air chair on our lower deck and happened to glance up to see it about 60 feet away on the logging road, apparently having come from your property. S/he was sniffing the rear end of our deer statue, and raised its front left paw to touch the deer's haunch. I compared the cougar's body length with that of the deer; it was 1.5 X as long (not counting the long tail, which had a black tip; the tail was about half the length of the main body). The shoulder height was about the back of the deer statue. It turned its head towards me, so I saw it full face. It did not hurry or seem alarmed, just observed me. I was murmuring under my breath, "Oh, my gosh!" It was breathtakingly beautiful, standing there in full sunlight. It investigated the base of the statue, then proceeded up to the head, where it rubbed its face up against the antlers (scent marking). It then proceeded up the road a little way and went down hill between the metal bench and the dogwood tree. I saw it for three or four minutes. I noted the time on my watch when it left, 6:08 p.m.
I wished I had had a camera, since it was in full sunlight and completely unobstructed from my line of sight. It left an indelible imprint in my mind; I kept telling myself to observe carefully and compare sizes accurately.
I have never seen a mountain lion before. What a gift!
We actually measured our deer statue and decided that the cougar's body was about four and a half feet long (add another two feet + for the tail) and it stood about two feet high at the shoulder."
I'll beleive it when I actually can get cell service in BTV….
Spoke to Golden State Cellular today and they do have prepaid plans now and also said they will be putting in a tower to provide service to the BTV area.
Do a google search for: "att free microcell"
I paid for mine, but doesn't mean you can't try to get a free one.
Check the at&t website for rebates. I paid $150 after rebate from AT&T.
Install was smooth and it works works as expected.
I did have to physically move the microcell from the closet where the the cable modem was installed to a location closer to the exterior of the house so the GPS would sync up.I called ATT , they want $199. I saw some on craigslist for 60-100.00.
Quote:I am trying to get an idea of prices paid for anyone having an ATT Microcell. Was it easy to install and problem free operation?
ThanksA search for "Microcell" using the "HomeHelpSearch…" above will find lot of info on microcells.

ThanksHeard a few days ago that on Monday, Golden State Cellular will begin selling minutes without a fixed monthly fee. Buy a phone and some minutes, and you won't have a bill again until you have to buy more minutes.
Probably a good solution for weekenders and part-timers.
Our Verizon service has never worked at our cabin but we have always received service in Arnold.
Sorry. Our network extender does not seem to work. The red "SYS" light just flashes indicating that it isn't connecting to Verizon All other lights blue.
