As of 2011, the property is being put up for sale. The property is taken up mostly by the snowboard park, but there is also a house there. It was owned and operated by DC president and co founder Ken Block. The 22 acres (89,000 m2) are home to kickers, boxes,butters and rails galore. The Lab has its own snowcat for building jumps and grooming the park. It also has 8 snowmobiles and a handful of dirt bikes. The Mountain Lab was the location of the snowboard video MTN. Lab and MTN. Lab 1.5. It also serves as a second home for DC co-owner and founder Ken Block and his family.

The Mountain Lab features many possible activities. The snowboard park that composes the front yard is the main feature, but house guests can also try their hand at skeet shooting, ping-pong, DJing, and playing video games on the custom Mountain Lab Xbox, and admiring Ken Block’s vintage snowboard collection. The collection features snowboards from all eras of snowboarding, spanning from the very start to the present cutting-edge boards. The snowboarders don’t have to ride only park if they don’t want to, they can take some of the snowmobiles into the backcountry and ride powder, or ride powder in the parts of the Mountain Lab that haven’t been, or can’t be, groomed.

As of 2008, as part of an agreement with the Ranches at The Preserve homeowners association, where the property is located, all man made obstacles, birms, rails, and other obstacles have been removed, and the property has been mostly returned to its previous condition before the building of the park. All that remains is the single rope tow.
