I personally worked on the sales & marketing of the Fairmont Tamarack and the decision to not proceed was a prudent one. It was not based on slowness of sales as we sold out our initial releases. The resort's future based on the type of loan, relied on real estate sales of other resort properties to finance construction. When RE sales slowed throughout the resort, there was no money left to finish construction on the Village. Tamarack is an incredible resort and the next developer (there will be one) will inherit a magical place for pennies on the dollar when done right will rival the Colorado & Utah resorts. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jonasty814]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 1:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your out of your mind!

The place is surrounded by a very low income area, that you have to drive through to get to the resort. The travel routes into the "resort" are the worst roadways to drive on, they are unsafe at best. The area is really nothing special, just a bunch of over priced homes in a remote area that is difficult to get to. The best place for skiing in Idaho is in Sun Valley...period!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AHunter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 11:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[This sounds like a very similar situation that is happening in Lake Las Vegas, Nevada...  you have to travel through a very low income area (Henderson) to get there...  construction has stopped and many stores have closed....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hotnana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 5:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[Keep McCall local. The residents of this area of Idaho HATED Tamarack. Glad to see it gone. Outsiders come in build, prices go up and price the locals out. So much building for nothing.

Like everywhere else it has its down side, but dollar for dollar -  a good place to live.  As for Low Income - generalizing is never sensible, I would imagine that on the average Henderson has much higher incomes than some of the other routes into Las Vegas.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JAN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 5:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[ohh i feel so bad for those unfortunates .is there any way i could maybe send some of my disability check to them ohh. all this hardship i just read about the english poptart that had to sell her bmw .what is the world coming too]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 6:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember the guy who said if we do not learn from history we are doomed to live it again?  Well, Sun Valley in the end of the '30's was a nothing place at the end of the rail line.  Aspen in the '40's was a run down mining town in the middle of no where.  One of the biggest businesses in town was bottled water because all the streams were polluted with heavy metals draining out of the mines into the streams and water system.  These two area have done OK.  It will just take time and steady progress not over night success and one person making megamillions but rather a lot of people making just enough to live in paradise and not destroy it along the way.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skiguy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 6:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've sat through Valbol, WestRock, then Tamarack. The locals never wanted this to infiltrate their town but the upityups never cared then and don't care now. I personally have had a Tamarack official promise me this resort will not raise taxes of existing homes in the area, our taxes have more than doubled since the resort opened.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 7:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[The entire economy has me entirely confused right now.  I have purchased three brand new hyundais from the same dealership and used hyundai finance motor credit each time.  Ironically each of the three previous times i buried negative equity into the next loan.  Now I own an '06 hyundai sonata free and clear with about $6,000 cash value, but I was turned down for a $24,000 upgrade with that 6 down plus about 4 in dealer incentives, citing my debt-to-income ratio.  Everything is ass-backward right now, even for those who live relatively conservatively and pay their bills.  That resort in Idaho, as well as other overdeveloped areas, will rebound in 5-10 years.  In the meantime we better get used to our high-mileage cars.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[griff dudding]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 7:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anybody who got suckered into this fairy tale got exactly what they had coming to them. Sun Valley lucked out by being built in the 1940's ( See movie "Sun<br>Valley Serenade " with Sonja Henie & the Glenn Miller <br>Orchestra. ) with free promotion thanks to Hollywood on a resort that at the time of filming was not complete yet. Since then, as a result of having lived there myself in '77 & 78, no one in their right minds should have considered investing in what has become known as "Scamarack resort". Other family members who moved there & got out as quickly as they could refer to Idaho as the arm pit of the United States. As a truck driver, I can't stand even driving through the damn state. You have to live among the animals/people that live there to understand what I'm talking about.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[carlo oompah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2009 4:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Tamarack Resort Shuts Down]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/03/05/tamarack-resort-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder how Bob Davis can call someone a fool with so many typographical errors in his comment:<br><br>YOUR (you're) out of your mind!
