  • Delete. Doesn't seem to have enough reliable secondary sources to substantiate notability. --Wafulz 00:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Almost all ski areas meet the notability standard, since they are covered in multiple, reliable secondary sources, e.g. Ski and Skiing magazines, plus local and regional newspapers with large circulations. It is simply a matter of someone doing the legwork needed to dig up these sources, which are not always sitting online. There is no need to serially list one ski area after another at AfD. Our efforts would be better spent locating the sources and improving the articles than having AfD debates about them. --Seattle Skier (talk) 09:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Of course its notable. Its a whacking great big ski resort with lifts and trials and hotels and things. It just needs some sources, that can be fixed in minutes. There are a number of reviews and third party sites relating to this area, im sure tons of magazines as well. Bjrobinson 12:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, you're claiming that there are enough sources, while I'm claiming there are not. The only way to prove me wrong is to actually provide the sources for this location specifically. --Wafulz 13:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable resort, but cleanup to remove advertising tone. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't think "because its a ski resort" should be enough to warrant notability. I'm sure there are many restaurants that are reviewed in local and regional newspapers and also reviewed in restaurant and dining magazines, but that doesn't make every one of them notable enough to have an article. Having the non notable ski resorts listed in List of ski areas and resorts should suffice most of the time. C5mjohn 14:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep seems many people find a lot of these ski resorts notable, so I will focus on culling only the very small, obscure and unpopular resorts. C5mjohn 18:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
