We, our group of like minded individuals have been trying to reopen your beloved Ski Valley for the past two years. We have run into many hurdles over this time but, we WILL persevere! One of the largest hurdles has been dealing with is all the negativity and treats of legal action by the unfounded accusations of Mr. Carl Welte. Well as it turns out Mr. Welte has gone to jail!!! On September 23, 2015 Mr. Welte plead out of 3 different counts, assault violation, violation of a protective order, trying to sway a witness to have assault charges dropped, but was found GUILTY of the last charge of Bail Jumping, and is currently serving his month and a half sentence. We dearly want to reopen Ski Valley however the amount of destruction caused by this one man has been overwhelming. Not only to the physical area itself but to the process of working toward the reopening of the area. Please in the future keep this in mind over the next year as we WILL continue to move forward (hopefully without further distractions) and strive to bring back to the Naples area one of your true jewels of your local area.
