The Yellowstone Club is a private, exclusive ski club located in Big Sky, Montana, whose members reportedly include Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, Justin Timberlake, and Tom Brady. CrossHabor bought the Club out of a messy bankruptcy in 2009.
Our conversation covers the history of the Yellowstone Club, process of purchasing the assets out of bankruptcy, and CrossHabor’s implementation of real estate, membership, and community development over the fourteen years since.
