DEK Builds LLC launches with committed family office capital to acquire ski resorts and distressed mountain assets

DEK Builds LLC officially launched on August 12, 2026, backed by committed family office capital. The Cheyenne, Wyoming based platform is focused on ski markets across the United States and Canada, targeting operating resorts with deferred maintenance, distressed and closed assets with reopening potential, ski-adjacent real estate, and sites with existing resort entitlements. The company says it already has multiple acquisitions in process and is prepared to move quickly on both off-market and broker-sourced deals.

“There's a real gap in this market between the handful of large operators consolidating destination resorts and the independent mountains that get left behind. We're built to move into that gap.” — Daniel Kaufman, Founder & CEO, DEK Builds
