Arapahoe Basin's Proposal To Build Two Gondolas Is Turning Heads
Arapahoe Basin has big ambitions in their Master Development Plan, but a spokesperson from the ski area clarified the intention of releasing the Plan as is. "The MDP offers us a path forward but does not guarantee anything. The idea behind MDPs is to provide the USFS with any potential project we would be interested in doing in the coming years to benefit the ski area in one big proposal," says Shayna Silverman of Arapahoe Basin. "If the USFS accepts this plan, then each project must go through NEPA. If projects are accepted by the USFS and approved by NEPA, only then it's up to us on what projects we move forward with and when."Along with the highlighted proposals listed above, Arapahoe Basin wants to increase its snowmaking capacity by 65 acres. Bolstering snowmaking capabilities in Montezuma Bowl, on the Loafer and Davis runs in The Beavers, and on the Humbug, West Gully, Upper Wrangler, Shooting Gallery, and Grizzly Road runs on the frontside of the mountain. Snowmaking will also be constructed for the new Sawmill Flats beginner area.The Master Development Plan also mentions installing remote avalanche systems along the East Wall and within Montezuma Bowl. These devices would replace the mountain's current avalauncher systems that resemble military artillery.POWDER will continue to keep tabs on Arapahoe Basin's Master Development Plan as progress is made. At this point, there is no stated timeframe for when the new lifts, runs, or snowmaking will be constructed. We will keep you updated if and when those timeframes are disclosed.

Dealfounders Launches Revolutionary M&A Blueprint to Help Entrepreneurs Acquire Profitable Businesses with Minimal Capital
MIAMI, FL - August 12, 2025 - Dealfounders, a premier M&A education and advisory platform backed by a $20B+ dealmaking team, has officially launched its flagship program: the 180-Day Acquisition Blueprint. The initiative is designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs acquire profitable businesses without using their own capital or outside investors. Unlike generic courses or guru-led systems, Dealfounders delivers a robust, advisor-driven experience. The platform draws on the expertise of seasoned professionals from Goldman Sachs, top private equity firms, and Big Four consultancies - tailored specifically for first-time buyers, growth-stage operators, and investors looking to acquire both online and brick-and-mortar businesses. 'We're here to democratize acquisitions,' said Ricardo Moreano, advisory board member at Dealfounders and former director at Apax Partners and Dresdner Kleinwort. 'With the right guidance and structure, everyday entrepreneurs can do what institutional buyers have done for decades - acquire cash-flowing businesses, build equity, and exit profitably.' What Sets Dealfounders Apart Dealfounders offers comprehensive M&A education through step-by-step training modules in due diligence, deal structuring, and acquisition execution - all based on private equity best practices. Its advisory board comprises a collective with over $20B in closed deal volume, providing weekly coaching, live deal reviews, and real-time LOI feedback to clients. The program also specializes in creative financing strategies. Entrepreneurs learn how to use seller financing, SBA loans, and third-party capital, often acquiring businesses with as little as $0-$30K down. In addition, clients receive access to a done-for-you infrastructure that includes proprietary LOI templates, valuation models, vetted legal resources, and connections to trusted lenders. Proven Results by First-Time Buyers Dealfounders alumni - many with no prior M&A experience - have successfully acquired businesses valued between $500K and $10M. Sergiu acquired a $1.1 million web development agency using seller financing and now runs it in under 90 minutes per week. Amanda purchased a boutique marketing firm with just $25K down and has since doubled its revenue. In Texas, Marc - a former corporate analyst - closed on a seven-figure logistics company, with 95% of the deal financed via SBA. Many students are now acquiring their second and third businesses. 'This is about building lasting equity and real cash flow - not just another hustle,' said David Kralik, advisory board member and capital strategist who has helped raise over $300M for small businesses. 'We're giving people access to the same strategies institutional buyers have kept behind closed doors.' Platform Highlights The 180-Day Acquisition Blueprint includes: Dealfounders is now accepting qualified applicants across the U.S. and select international markets. The program is ideal for professionals transitioning into ownership, scaling through acquisition, or replacing high-income jobs with cash-flowing businesses.
