CASSIA COUNTY, Idaho — One of Idaho's favorite mom-and-pop ski areas is keeping it in the family— sort of.
This morning, Ski Idaho announced that the Anderson family has reached an agreement to sell Pomerelle Mountain Resort to Zach Alexander, the mountain manager, and his wife, Crystal.
"Zach is the grandson of longtime and recently retired director of snowsports instruction Barry Whiting, so it's pretty much like keeping it in the family," reads the announcement.
