Echo Mountain Has a New Owner

Echo Mountain ski area has finally been sold, but things will be changing a lot there.

The mountain will still be open to the general public, but focus will be growing all the more on training for alpine racing.

World Cup skiers such as Sarah Schleper-Gaxiola, Petter Brenna, Patrik Järbyn, and Mike Farny have already been lined up as coaches.

The Colorado mountain already has a history of being a place where skiers would train, but it has also been successfully focusing on gaining more and more regular skiers.

Nora Pykkonen, the new owner, plans to have it opened in November.
