Residents Quietly Rejoice Bitterroot Resort Foreclosure

Tracts of pale amber grass run like jagged scars down the mountainside, cutting through spruce and fir forests that otherwise paint the landscape southwest of Lolo, Montana a deep shade of evergreen.

Though disinclined to take pleasure in a local family’s misfortune, many residents of Lolo are quietly rejoicing at the failure of the Bitterroot Resort http://www.skibitterrootresort.com/.
