| Fun Valley/Antelope Butte |
Operation Dates: 1950's - 1965; late 1990's - 2005
Area Stats:
* Elevations: Base: 7,900'; Summit: 8,800'; Vertical: 900'
* Facilities: Ski Rentals, Lodge, Repairs
Lifts: 2 Chairlifts
History:
The Fun Valley site is now the Antelope Butte site. In the late 90s, the
owner purchased 2 chairlifts from Crystal (Washington) and installed them
with the longer one surpassing the old t-bar line for a total of 1000 vertical
feet. Two years ago, it closed. Last year, it was announced in the fall
(2005) that, again, it wouldn't run. This summer (2006), it went up for
sale as part of a personal bankruptcy. Fun Valley was originally
(1950s) a rope tow about 1 mile down-valley before the t-bar was
located in a better area. It was later renamed Antelope Butte. Further up-
highway, there have also been tows in the past (adjacent to Burgess jct).
Update: The ski area will not operate for the 2008-09 season. Here is
the recent request for proposals to operate Antelope Butte from the
Forest Service
Directions: 325 4th Avenue Greybull, WY
