Visiting Olympic Valley near Lake Tahoe is once-in-a-lifetime experience. The sheer beauty of the paradise is breathtaking in every sense. Perhaps, this was the reason why it is still the smallest area to host Winter Olympics on mynews4.com. However, unknown to the visitors, locals have suffered heavily due to adverse climatic conditions and legal battle over the fate of the Valley.

In the past few years, Mother Nature didn’t sprinkle the fine and crisp snow flakes that residents have become accustomed to. It did not mean that there was no snow. However, the Valley faced drought-like conditions, which meant that skiers to the area were unable to enjoy early Winter snowfall that the community has relished for so many years. Another major concern for investors and locals was the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the legal battle between a private group called “incorporate Olympic Valley” and one of its own, Andy Wirth, CEO of Squaw Valley Ski Holdings LLC. The growing uncertainty over the legal battle meant that there were few investors willing to invest in the area, which also resulted in additional challenges to local businessmen who rely on investment and Mother Nature.

Luckily, this year, locals got a huge reprieve when not only they saw massive early Winter snow fall, but also got the news that Olympic Valley will not be incorporated. The early snowfall is probably a sign of better things to come in the following seasons. In addition, the withdrawal of incorporation petition by the private group is a sign of new development in the area. For locals, there couldn’t be a better year in terms of civic, business and political climate.

According to Reno-Gazzete Journal, which has covered the proceedings, the man behind the success of legal battle is Andy Wirth. Andy Wirth is the CEO of Squaw Valley Ski Holdings LLC. Accordingly, he has spent thousands of dollars in legal battle to stop the incorporation of the Valley. For residents of the area, Andy is a household name as he and his company has a long history of developing community projects, community development and charity.

When asked about the legal proceedings, Andy claimed that the intended incorporation of the Valley would be a fiscal disaster for local businesses who were already struggling due to the Winter drought. Any future efforts to incorporate Olympic Valley will also lead to major problems for the businesses resulting in higher taxes. Besides, local businessmen will be deprived of high-quality community services such as snow plowing and road maintenance. More importantly, it will also mean that resident of the Valley will not be able to pool their resources with other communities on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Perhaps, the decision to withdraw incorporation appeal and return of the early Winter storms is a sign of great optimism.


We find that often times Hollywood can take a true story or the reality of a situation and then they pervert it into something dramatic and exploitative. For this reason alone many people begin to believe that Hollywood can’t be trusted as an explicit source of information. However the financial market driven film “Money Monster” has many folks in the industry talking and that has caught the attention of Forefront Capital founder Brad Reifler. Reifler is known and beloved in the financial investment world thanks to his commitment to helping out the ‘99%’ of investors who truly could use the aid. This new film, as Reifler is about to explain, brought up many issues that he believes in.

The film “Money Monster” stars a financial investment guru by the name of Lee Gates (played by George Clooney) who is abruptly taken hostage on live television by a poor investor who followed Gates’ instructions and still ended up losing everything. What follows is a tense ride that focuses as much on the investment world as it does the effects it can have on the ‘everyman’. Many of the subjects covered are explicitly mirroring real world problems. Reifler himself had two points of contention brought up on Twitter, after seeing the film.

First off, Reifler ardently believes that Wall Street executives are too comfortable with how poorly they treat their regular investors. No matter how badly a portfolio performs the brokers are still going to get paid. Secondly, Brad Reifler believes that the SEC (security exchange commission) forces lower income investors into inherently risky areas, namely Wall Street. Preventing these small time investors from accessing better opportunities ultimately ends up greasing the ladder, preventing any upward elevation. These two problems, which “Money Monster” point out, are the fuel behind Reifler’s pursuit with Forefront Capital.

Brad Reifler initially launched Forefront Capital as a way for him to fight back against these problems. He has had a history in the investment world that is diverse enough to show that he understands the people that have struggled and he understands how to help them climb up. Brad Reifler doesn’t charge for management fees and he is offering the kind of help that the average investor can really benefit from.
