A PLAN to attract wealthy foreign investors with hostesses “so we don’t have to get the bloody brothel license” has been unearthed as pressure on a major Queensland Reds sponsor run by the brother-in-law of a former Queensland premier continues to mount.
Not going to register for the full article, but the story has taken another darker turn.

Four seasons and full service.
New employment opportunities for former Carrabassett Valley Inn dancers.
Oy!

However, I am guessing that news of some kind will come out in the next few weeks.
If it falls through, would be great to see some events held at the mountain next winter. Whether it is food, drink and skinning with a low cover charge or getting one lift spinning for a higher cover charge, would be good to get people back on the mountain for a few weekends. Could be an impossible insurance nightmare if the Berry's aren't willing to host the events and are just renting/leasing/allowing easements for the use of the mountain.
If the Berry's want to make a small amount of money back while they wait for a buyer, allowing a community group to fundraise throughout the year and then operate the lodge, and a lift or two for a few weekends a year could be a fun, low risk option. Just like in school when you raise money for your school trip, then pay the difference, the mountain could operate as little or as much as fundraising efforts allowed each year.
There have to be low cost, low risk options that are better than just letting the mountain sit idle.
