Town representatives say they will discuss the possibility with citizens and explore next steps toward purchasing the resort at a meeting in the western Boulder County town at 7 p.m.

Town officials admit that the idea is a long shot, but they believe that if the town were to own the ski area, it could improve sustainability and better serve the community.
