Powder Ridge Ski Area for sale and not too many people are interested.

The Town of Middlefield owns Powder Ridge Ski Area. The ski area was closed last year and the town is attempting to sell the ski area. See Single bidder interested in Powder Ridge and Town gets second bid for Powder Ridge. The second bid came in after the deadline; however officials say it will be accepted.

The ski area has been having troubles for several years. (Google has put a warning on one site that pops up on a search for Powder Ridge saying the site may harm your computer.)

There is also a suit pending by the former owner of the resort against the city claiming the city lowered the value of the ski area and forced him into bankruptcy. See Leavitt lawsuit still pending.

Powder Ridge was also the subject of several lawsuits over the years. See Slauson v. White Water Mountain Resorts of Connecticut, Inc. et al., 2001 Conn. Super. LEXIS 1489, Connecticut Supreme Court overrules prior law in deciding releases no longer valid, Hanks v. Powder Ridge Restaurant Corporation et al. 276 Conn. 314 and Laliberte v. White Water Mountain Resorts, 2004 Conn. Super. LEXIS 2194.
