Those who enjoy skiing or tubing the slopes at Blue
Mountain Ski Area in Lower Towamensing Township may soon have the option of
living there, as well.
Plans are in the works for the Carbon County resort to
build a multistory luxury condominium hotel, with people acquiring ownership
through the Vista Lodge Residence Club. Vista Lodge would be the hotel name,
according to a news release.
The resort has a need for onsite lodging to be a four
season vacation destination, said Tricia Matsko, sales and marketing director
for Blue Mountain. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide overnight
lodging to the resort’s guests, she said.
The estimated cost to build the hotel would be $20
million to $30 million.
The residences, available to own or rent, would range
from studio, one, two and three bedrooms, furnished and professionally
decorated with full kitchens.
The resort wants to bring upscale amenities to the hotel,
including an indoor/outdoor heated pool, fitness room, owner’s clubroom,
private storage lockers and adjoining restaurant and lounge. Valet parking,
bell service, owner concierge, room service, 24/7 front desk and spa services
are examples of the types of services the resort wants to offer. All residences
will come with full property management, an optional rental program and
additional club benefits.
The planned site for the Vista Lodge will be adjoining
the Summit Lodge at the top of Blue Mountain. It would be built along the Vista
ski trail, offering a ski-in/ski-out experience, according to the resort.
The resort plans to have architectural designs of condo
styles available by early spring and is encouraging people to sign up for the
resort’s mailing list to receive information.
The resort said it is too early to determine the exact
pricing for ownership. It anticipates a sales launch in early December, which
would be the first opportunity to buy condominiums.
Depending on several factors, including interest from
patrons, architectural designs and local permitting, the resort would start
construction in spring 2017, with an opening date near the end of 2018.
