Yellowstone Club

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yellowstone Club, also Yellowstone Ski Resort, is an invitation-only residential club, ski resort, and golf resort located in the state of Montana, USA. This Rocky Mountain ski and golf club is located in eastern Madison County, just west of Big Sky, Montana, and northwest of Yellowstone National Park. The club has been operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since November 2008. The club was founded in 1999 by Timothy Blixseth, in the Madison Mountains and counts Bill Gates and Dan Quayle among its 340 members. During its peak season, almost 600 people are employed at the club. The club was featured on CNBC's lifestyle show High Net Worth with Tyler Mathisen. Cyclist Greg LeMond, an early investor and homeowner/member, sued the club in 2006, saying Blixseth and his former wife Edra Denise (Crocker) Blixseth had borrowed $375 million from Credit Suisse Group and took $209 million for themselves as a dividend, jilting him and other investors. The suit was settled in 2008 for $39.5 million.
