The Newfoundland and Labrador government is committing millions of dollars in capital spending to the Marble Mountain ski resort in Steady Brook while it continues to search for an outside buyer.
The cost to ski and snowboard will be up at Marble Mountain, but officials hope it won't keep people from hitting the slopes for what's shaping up to be a great season.
As western Newfoundland's Marble Mountain ski resort gets ready for the 2022 season, the provincial government hopes a busy year boosted by a marketing campaign and new food venues will attract a buyer.
A 3-year effort to sell Marble Mountain is over, with no deal. What happens next?
An attempt to privatize part or all of the government-owned resort has ended without a buyer, but some hold out hope it could still end up in private hands.
