It is official. Sleeping Giant Ski Area is now privately owned.

A Shoshone National Forest lease is complete between the Yellowstone Recreations Foundation and new owner Nick Piazza, under his Community Mountain LLC. This transfer only applies to the business itself as the land is leased through the Forest Service.

Piazza said the ski area and zipline will work towards zero-loss operations, and he will be making many investments in the mountain to make that goal possible.
