Cuchara, Tx: Ghost Resort?

Some resorts were purely speculative developements, others have been hit by climate change. Cuchara in Texas seems to mix both aspects of what makes up a ghost ski domain. Opened in the Texas hills close to New Mexico the resort has been dormant for nine seasons since opening in 1981 as Pandero. Texas isn't everyone's first choice for skiing and the windstorms can strip snow from the slopes leaving it with hardly any skiable snow but cuchara's problems were compounded when one of the owners absconded with local money and season-pass deposits



Still the current owners say they have big plans to restart operations.

Fickle forecast for Cuchara
