Seems ORDA’s dude talked about pumping stuff to Front Street’s system this summer so something exists. Who knows? Check out the TOJ Comp Plan Utube.

Anybody ever see a UMP containing the new lodge?

They made Front Street do an Environmental Impact Statement for their project.

Front Street has had APA approvals since 2008. Out of a potential 300 plus units, Front Street has built around 8 townhomes since the 2008 approval. Front Street does have their own plan for sewage processing. ORDA knew this was just a plan. ORDA still went and built the Ski Bowl Lodge despite no sewage system available from Front Street or North Creek.
Here is a quote from Front Street's David Crikelair from Jan 14,2025:

"And David Crikelair, head of Front Street Mountain Development, said he hopes to build a 120-room hotel near the Ski Bowl Lodge and would prefer to hook into a municipal system. He said the hotel project is tied to whether the Ski Bowl project is a hit."

Looks like front street likes it better if they hook into ordas system. I'll guessing that hotel will be fairly profitable

Yeah, at this point I just want to ski, on a pow day, at the bowl, and I'll go in the woods if I have to.

If it's ever built...

Front Street has fully embraced ORDA time. It has only been 17 years since approval.

It makes sense at least. Nobody wants to pull the trigger on a big project without the necessary infrastructure in place- except ORDA I guess
