Business Overview:

 Exclusive Ski Resort Concession – Established exclusive on-mountain still photography concession at one of Colorado’s premier destination ski resorts.

 Three-Season Contractual Runway – Current concession covers the 2026–27 season with automatic renewals through the 2028–29 season, subject to the terms of the agreement.

 Highly Seasonal Lifestyle Business – Primary operations are concentrated into approximately four winter months, making this an attractive opportunity for a buyer seeking a seasonal business.

 Low-Capital, High-Margin Model – Predominantly digital photography and image sales with minimal inventory and equipment requirements.

 Established Customer Database & Photo Archive – Approximately 8,000–10,000 customer email addresses plus years of archived galleries capable of generating repeat sales.

 Significant Owner-Operator Upside – The business has been remotely managed in recent years. A locally involved owner could improve staffing, mountain coverage, guest interaction, marketing and revenue-producing programs.

Own a unique photography business operating within one of Colorado’s best-known mountain resort communities. The company provides professional on-mountain photography to visiting skiers, snowboarders, families and groups under an exclusive resort concession.

The business has operated at the resort since 2019 and benefits from an established relationship with resort management, approved on-mountain photography locations, an experienced seasonal staffing model and a substantial historical customer and photo database. Operations are streamlined, with photographs delivered primarily through online galleries and digital fulfillment.

Recent performance has been affected by remote ownership as well as the poor 2025–26 Colorado ski season, which significantly reduced skier visitation throughout the state. The three most recent seasons generated average adjusted SDE of approximately $75,435. A locally involved buyer has an opportunity to rebuild revenue through stronger supervision, expanded photography coverage, private family sessions, renewed resort programs and more consistent marketing to the company’s existing customer database.

This opportunity may be particularly attractive to a photographer, hospitality professional, outdoor enthusiast or entrepreneur looking for an active, guest-facing business with concentrated winter operations and meaningful growth potential.
