DC MTN. LAB is on the Market?


Ken Block, co-founder of DC Shoes, is finally selling this mansion located outside of Salt Lake City, Utah on a wildlife preserve. The property is listed just shy of $7 million. The selling of this 3,800 square foot house on a 22 acre property (with access to 10 private ski/snowboard runs) could be the first step to something bigger.

"The Mountain Lab was an incredible concept because every kid would love to have his own private snowboard park at the back door of his house and his own skatepark in his back yard. And it gave us great insight about what kids want and dream about," Block said last summer. "It was a successful marketing exercise for many years and a lot of fun. We are always looking for new projects like this that will be impactful down the line."
