April 18, 2024
Alan and Robyn Blackburn today (Wednesday, April 17, 2024) announced that they have completed the transaction with Joe Ricketts to sell White Pine Ski Resort to him. Ricketts has committed to invest in and improve the Sublette County Ski Resort and is exploring snow-making capabilities to increase the length of the ski season. "My hope is to ensure that White Pine remains a strong part of the community and continues the tradition of serving local residents," said Ricketts. "Selling White Pine is bittersweet for us," said Alan Blackburn. "I’ll miss being such a big part of the heart of Sublette County, but feel tremendous peace with transferring ownership to Joe because I know he shares my ultimate goal of keeping the Resort as such a strong and dependable part of the community. I have total faith in his vision." The White Pine Ski & Summer Resort is one of the oldest ski areas in Wyoming and sits on Forest Service land in the Wind River Mountain Range. The resort has two lifts, nearly 30 runs with 1,100 hundred foot vertical, a tubing hill, rustic accommodations, and miles of Nordic trails for winter activity and summer hiking. White Pine has been a mainstay for local Sublette County residents for years and it has been voted the #1 Resort in Wyoming for beginner skiers.
