Snow.ca premium domain name value (1.Viewing)

Hi all. New member. I have owned this domain for more than 22 years. I got popcorn.ca and snow.ca back in the day. I thought snow.ca was the better one.
A company bought popcorn.ca from me at a decent (contract said I cannot say the price) price. I always thought Vail Resorts which owns snow.com and uses it for their marketing portal would be interested if they every bought a Canadian mountain. They ended up buying Whistler! I tried and thought I might get a big number but it never went anywhere.

I think it is a great domain. I basically had 2 choices of many 1 word choices back in the day and chose these 2.

Snow.ca could be used for a tech company, snow removal company or uber of snow removals, ski snowboard etc. Ski mountain information. Marketing portal for a Canadian mountain.

I went as far as actually trademarking the moniker "snow.ca" back in the day successfully. I think I let it lapse and it is so common it does not even need a trademark (it will never have a trademark issue).

Anyhow, a couple kids going to university and it is time to monetize this asset. I domain names are illiquid and it is all about the eye of the beholder but let me know what you think for value?

From what I can tell it should be 5 figures, probably 10k to 25k CAD. Go Daddy for what it's worth throws out an Algorithm USD 12k .

Let me know what you guys think and if anyone has any ideas

Welcome aboard, I remember I bought red.ca from the guy that runs redresort.com

Big operation for sure, maybe they would be interested in snow.ca

PS. Welcome aboard, it was nice chatting on the phone with you.

Welcome aboard!

Great domain and good luck with the sale.

Welcome and great domain too.

Excellent domain, one syllable, four letters and easy to spell (no typo issues), not negative, on and on...

If Vail didn't own snow.com, it would be the kind of .com domain some kind of tech or start up company would want because of the above. Given that Vail owns it, maybe one day they'll decide they want the .ca too since they have properties in Canada.

I'd say anywhere from low five figures US and up into even low six figures potential. The kind of domain you pay 10 years renewals in advance and just sit on with potential of a decent or large lottery type win sometime down the road.

I can't disagree with any of that. But there's one glaring problem. Liquidating it to another investor here means it's value is pennies on the dollar.

If I had any advice for raising money now, it would be to go back and reconnect with any past inquiries, do some outbound, etc... anything but selling it here.

We get tons of traffic, list the domain as premium on the forum and it keeps it right at the top of the listings.

UPDATE: Just going to let my kid who is in computer science develop this if he wants to or I will in spare time for fun. If I sold it, I would regret it

Very possible that one day a great offer will come along.

Snow.com

Go to the top of the page and look for destinations and click on Canada, it resolves to:

snow.com/canada.aspx

They are a natural fit for snow.ca if you solicit them.

That said if they knew what they were doing they could easily host from a folder making the address

snow.com/canada or snow.com/ca

Apparently good web structure is a mystery to web designers nowadays.
