DC Mountain Lab, Park City, Utah. After eight years housing professional snowboarders, hosting parties and serving as a backdrop for photo and video shoots, the DC Mountain Lab is up for sale. DC Shoes co-founder Ken Block, who bought the property in 2003, recently listed it with Sotheby's at an asking price just shy of $7 million.
After deciding to sell, Block also began taking down all manmade obstacles in the terrain park, which opened in 2005, because of a scuffle with the homeowner's association. The Lab is located at The Ranches at The Preserve -- a wildlife preserve located just outside of Park City, Utah --and members of the association wanted the property returned to its natural state. Block complied, but is selling the 3,800-square-foot home on 22 acres (a towrope still remains, which will allow the new home owner to access 10 private runs) with plans to build something even more impressive in an area that will cause less noise with the homeowners association.
