There also were some architectural drawings labeled "Barista Quarters". I will be there is December with a group, looking forward to seeing if I can get a double mocha expressochino....

Great guy. This is an interesting idea of his, but the real goods for a heli operation are located along the border of Glacier National Park in the Great Bear Wilderness. I've always thought it would be cool to get dropped off on the summit of a mountain in there.... The State Land he is proposing for heli is great "intermediate skier" open treed slope powder skiing (when it's not cloudy and snowing...) It'll be interesting to see what the snowmobilers think that currently have the run of that area... I live in Whitefish, MT and have met and skied with Fred at Valhalla. Great guy.
