Seattle-area man buys Silver Mountain

A Seattle-area businessman has bought Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg.

Tryg Fortun, manager of Eclectic, LLC, has been skiing the mountain for many years now and loves the resort, said a news release from the resort Thursday evening.

“This is my favorite ski resort anywhere in the world and we are excited to be part of it,” Fortun said in the release.

“We plan to ‘up the stoke,’ take the resort to the next level and become the preferred year around destination resort in the Pacific Northwest.”

Fortun, a real estate investor from Kenmore, Washington, owns apartments in the Seattle area and Wenatchee as well as condominiums at Morning Star Lodge at Silver Mountain.

Jeld-Wen Holdings Inc., which has owned the resort for 20 years, sold the resort for $5 million, according to a recent filing with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.

Silver Mountain includes a ski operation with three-mile gondola, nine-hole golf course and indoor waterpark/ Scott Maben , SR. More here.
