On December 21, 2018, Alpine-X LLC (the "Developer") submitted an unsolicited proposal (the "Project") to the County for the redevelopment of portions of the I-95 Lorton landfill, owned by Fairfax County. On December 31, 2024, Fairfax County closed the unsolicited PPEA at the expiration of the Interim Agreement. Both parties remain open to future collaboration.
The now expired Project, called “Fairfax Peak”, generally envisioned creating a recreation destination anchored by an indoor ski facility, hotel, with other complimentary recreational facilities (Project), as listed below:
- Multiple ski slopes, inside a structure, at approximately a 20-degree angle, including a slope compliant with the Fédération Internationale de Ski’s standards, ensuring it can be used for competitions;
- A specially designed area for skiing and snowboarding with a variety of ramps, jumps, rails, boxes and other features, capable for use in national snowboarding and freestyle skiing competitions;
- A bunny slope for beginners, snow tubing run and area for skiers and snowboarders to perform tricks;
- Restaurant, ski shop and dining terrace at the summit;
- A hotel at the base of the indoor snow facility;
- A gravity-powered, mountain coaster that will slide from the summit to Occoquan Regional Park; and,
- A ropes course and other outdoor activity areas.
