It would be awesome to have somebody that could run it and could build it.
and could like bring it forth in like all of its glory.
The mountains really, it's kind of tough to run a lodge in those situations.
The reason I mentioned earlier that it was the highest lodge in the continental United States that's open year round is the difficulty of running a lodge in an area that gets so much snow.
So we get, on average, about 400 inches of snowfall per year.
There's like 30 to 40 feet of accumulation.
And obviously very cold.
And so there's just a lot of operational challenges when you have that much snow that, I mean, six months out of the year, it's just snow, snow, snow, snow, snow.
And we run year round.
Yeah, that's probably a very good way to express it.
I mean, just to show up, just the amount of snow removal and the amount of other maintenance that needs to go into the operations, whether it's keeping the cabins unfrozen, whether it's keeping power to them, and all the other things that go along with running in a very, basically a very inhospitable place.
I mean, that much snow, very cold.
You've got other issues too.
