In a recent article by The Burlington Free Press, court appointed receiver, Michael Goldberg indicated that he hopes to sell the resorts separately in order to compensate numerous contractors who have been left unpaid following the allegations of EB-5 fraud. Currently, the resorts’ former proprietors, Ariel Quiros and Bill Stenger are facing allegations of using their ski resorts to defraud investors. In the meantime, legal proceedings will have to be fleshed out before moving forward with a potential sale.

The resorts have yet to be appraised but their combined value is estimated to be worth millions. According to resort officials, the intent is to sell the mountains to resort groups with “extensive” experience in the industry. Many skier and snowboarders have already speculated that a multi-pass resort group such as Vail Resorts, Powdr, and Peak Resorts are likely candidates to purchase the resorts down the road.
