The Resort at the Mountain is under new ownership as of the beginning of 2016. The Resort website states the new owner as Stanford Oregon Hotel LLC. The mountain community is anxious to find what changes the new owner will bring to the Resort. 

A lot has been happening at the Resort over the past six months. 

*The resort is the first Best Western Premier Collection property in North America. 

*Welches had a major wind storm that knocked out power and caused many large trees along the golf course to come down causing the greens keeper headaches. 

*A three alarm fire on December 30th had guests scrambling out of their units in building 4 from flames. Ten rooms were destroyed from the fire, no one was hurt,  and the cause of the fire still has not been determined after investigation. 

Hopefully things will settle down for the new owner! As a major employer for our area, locals are anxious to see how new management takes the reins.
