Want to own a ski hill? The Newfoundland and Labrador government has one for sale

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The Newfoundland and Labrador government is once again trying to off-load its ski resort.

The province has published a request for proposals to purchase its Marble Mountain Ski Resort in western Newfoundland.

A government report in 2021 says the Crown corporation operating the resort has long been losing money, costing the province about $2 million a year.

The report urged the province to sell the facility, saying the government does not have the expertise to run a ski hill.

The government has tried previously to find to someone to buy or lease the resort, to no avail.
