The Vision from Summit on Vimeo.

Utah’s Powder Mountain is under new management. Very new. The Summit Series, the five-year old entrepreneur conference run by a gang of mostly twenty-something nomads, is setting down roots. On December 3rd the Summit Group announced that it had taken over management of Utah’s Powder Mountain and is set to close the transaction in early 2013. With Powder comes an average of 500 inches of annual snowfall and 10,000 plus acres of ski-able terrain–the largest ski mountain in North America. The deal is set to close in early 2013.Think of it as Ted Talks in Portland but instead transported on to a mountain and that’s what Summit Series is. Summit in recent years gained notoriety in the start-up world for its annual A-list-packed, weekend conferences that have taken over both a cruise ship and Squaw Valley, California. These innovation festivals have included speakers and attendees like President Bill Clinton, Virgin Billionaire Richard Branson, Paypal chief and Facebook’s first investor Peter Thiel, Mark Cuban, and even our very own Diplo. [Forbes]
