The long-closed Cuchara Mountain Resort has been acquired by a recreation district, and plans have been announced to develop the 225-acre ski area into a year- round resort.
For a decade, the ski area has passed through a series of owners and legal challenges. On Wednesday, the Huerfano County Board of Commissioners were to vote on the creation of a special district to operate the resort and issue bonds to fund the redevelopment that is estimated to cost $14 million.
Landowners and residents living within 3 miles of the resort will be notified about the district’s formation, and private contributions are being sought.
Proposed are a hotel, skiing and snowboarding improvements and other facilities.
