They are modeling it after Bear Mountain in California. I'm not sure if they got snowmaking permission from the county though, so who knows if it will really happen.

Clear Creek planners recommend zoning for ski terrain park

IDAHO SPRINGS - Clear Creek County officials Wednesday unanimously recommended rezoning the old Squaw Pass Ski Area so it can be used as a terrain park for skiers and snowboarders.
The Clear Creek County Planning Commission voted 7-0 in favor of zoning the dormant ski area for commercial tourism, removing the first obstacle to a developer's plans to build a winter recreation area just 35 miles from downtown Denver.
Several county residents spoke favorably of the proposed terrain park, as did an economic development official and a county tourism advocate. Local snowboarding enthusiasts were among the most vocal proponents of the project.
'I'd just like to see something like this open up in our hometown,' said Cole Svendsen, a 22-year-old Clear Creek County resident who frequents terrain parks at Copper Mountain and Winter Park.
Clear Creek County has been looking for ways to encourage destination tourists rather than those who merely pass through on their way to big ski resorts in other counties.
'We felt like we were kind of in the sweet spot of what you were trying to do,' Gerald Petitt, the project's developer, told the planning commission.
Petitt bought the roughly 240- acre property two years ago for about $700,000. Ownership of the land has changed hands several times during the three decades since the ski area shut down because of lack of snow and snowmaking capabilities. It operated from about 1961 to 1974.
The developers estimate their proposed terrain park, modeled after some in California, could attract 55,000 winter visitors from outside the county and add roughly 35-50 jobs in the county, although some positions would be seasonal. They already have drilled wells at the site and plan to add a reservoir.
Petitt called the commission vote 'a major step forward' and said he hopes to open the terrain park by the start of the 2005-2006 ski season.
The main concern about the proposal, which is still subject to final zoning approval and a development review process, centers on whether a stretch of Colorado 103, which runs from Bergen Park in Evergreen up to the site, can handle the traffic.
County road officials, who handle maintenance of part of the road, say it needs expensive upgrades.
