Visitor Reviews of Ski Rio

09 21 2022 Last year, 2021 in June, saw my wife and I with companions staying at a cabin built in the former Ski Rio resort. A new company (Blue Sky?) owns the property. There are no ski lifts, there are no amenities. The place is occasionally occupied by folks as ourselves: airbnb types. It seems there is some development going on at the property. I did hike some of the downhill trails. These are just beginning to be overgrown with smallish trees and there is evidence of the occasional rock fall. The climb to the peak is worth the time. There is evidence of bear, mule deer, white tail, elk and I did see the Western Turkey! There is not too much to do in the nearby town. The people at the post office are very nice. There are old wagon trails and lumber trails to follow. I would love to know more of the history of the property. If the airbnb were more affordable, I would stay there for a month in the fall. Very tranquil. Yet the people I did meet there, who were out side of our group, were not the 'hang out and chat' type. The property seems much bigger than 900 acres.
