We have collaborated some recent emails below regarding the recent passing of Wolf Creeks Steve Roberts. While we at the forum didn't always agree with Mr. Roberts, he was different than so many Valley developers we have seen come and go over the years. Steve was a great man who made Ogden Valley his home and was a large part of our community. He was always willing to support events, not only monetarily, but he was also willing to work hard for the event or organization.
Here is a portion of an email that was forwarded to us:
With sadness I wanted to let you know that Steve Roberts died this last Saturday evening. Lowell Peterson tells me that a brain tumor was the last straw. They operated and felt it was successful, but then his body just couldn’t hold up any longer. This is a difficult note to write. Steve has been a believer in Ogden Valley in a way most residents did not really see. He cared about the community as well as the resort. His loss is huge. My sympathies are toward his wife and children.
And here is the latest from Wolf Creek
Dear Wolf Creek Family –
There will be celebration of Steve’s life on Thursday evening at 7:00pm in Pineview Lodge. Immediately following that there will be coffee and refreshments on the Plaza.
The kids are putting together a DVD so if you have photos you think are appropriate please send them to Sue.
All of the Roberts’ family and friends in Utah will be attending so please park in the Maintenance Building parking lot.
The family has requested that instead of sending flowers we make a donation to the Wolf Creek Foundation. You can give that to Annette, Sue or send it to
The Wolf Creek Foundation
P.O. Box 658
Eden, UT 84310
If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact Bill, Tim or Sue.

Steve cared deeply about the future of the valley. I worked with him for several years and know him as an honest, visionary, and deep thinker.
When he died, Steve was working toward placing a section of Wolf Creek Resort land into a Conservation Easement with DWR, thereby extending the Middle Fork Wildlife Management Area and preserving forever the hills above the resort.
In my mind I will honor Steve by always thinking about it as the "Roberts Easement" as I experience on the public trail that will run through it. -- Kimbal Wheatley
