A judge has allowed a public referendum on the $500,000-a-year Wasatch Peaks Ranch resort to move forward.

After a bitter, years-long fight with big-money developers, the residents of a rural county in Utah will now have a say on whether they want a massive ski resort in their tiny town.

“I just have to say that I feel like this is such a win for right versus wrong,” she said. “All we have done is try to give the people their voice, and that's what the U.S. Constitution guarantees.” A vocal contingent of Morgan County residents have opposed the resort since it was proposed in 2019, arguing that it would destroy the small-town character of the area. The developers, who include Dick Bass of Snowbird and Earl Holding of Snowbasin, argued it would create jobs and bring in tax revenue while preserving much of the open land on the property.
