i recently aquired a trail map and a dvd from the yellow stone mountain club, and im blown away from its size and its privacy, speaking of which, is their anyone who has pics of their lifts or could get them, for i would like to see them. i understand this may be an impossible request.

One of the members on this forum is a sparky there, but I haven't seen him on the forum for a while.

I e-mailed the GM at the Yellowstone Club to see if I could get some lift pictures when I was at Big Sky but he never replied back. I did take some pictures of the lifts from Big Sky but all you can see are the lift lines.

All of the lifts are fairly new and can be found in the Doppelmayr Worldbooks

how many lifts are they up to now? i have a trail map i got from them back in 2000. i though it was pretty funny since it was addressed to me, being a high school student back then!!!

I think they have around 10, which includes surface lifts.

they have 4 bubble4s high speed quads, 1 pulse bubbled quad, 1 double, one traversing double, 2 triples, and 3 poma's. if you e-mail them with anything but your intrest inn a real estate deal, you have almost no shot at a response. i have emailed them for the past 4 years requesting a trail map for my collection, i finaly just orderd their packet on the resort. received it priority mail, and i must say what the sent was very impressive. and i finaly got my trail map for my collection:thumbsup:

How expensive is it to join?!?

It's by invite only, then once you've been invited you'll need to pay around 2.5 million and up for a lot and home. The annual membership fee is at least 5 digits. I also think you have to have a certain amount of monetary assets as well.

[spunkyskier01]

membership fee: $16,000

And what does this get you? I think you have to own a "lot" to be a member. (I have never seen their Brochure.)

Thanks for the dvd info. It sounds like after you "Buy in", you get the priviledge of paying $16,000 for a membership (plus monthly dues) and for that you only have to share the mountain with 8 other people. SWEET DEAL!
