a story of boom and bust in the ski resort industry.

Founded in 1994 by Les Otten, the company grew from a single resort operation into a major player that went public on the NYSE in 1997. At its peak, ASC operated premier destinations including Sunday River, Killington, and The Canyons. ASC's aggressive expansion proved unsustainable. After years of financial struggles, the company dissolved in 2007 following asset sales, with its final property, The Canyons, selling for $100 million to Talisker Corporation. While ASC no longer trades publicly, its stock certificates, available in our shop, represent a unique piece of skiing history and serve as a reminder of this ambitious attempt to consolidate the American ski resort industry.
