When the Marble Mountain ski resort in Steady Brook was first developed, it was with the plan that at some point in time it would be privatized and go to a four-season resort, Tourism Minister Steve Crocker says. | SaltWire

In recent weeks, Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Wayne Bennett of Howley, former leader of the Newfoundland First Party, questioned on Twitter why a $50-million bid for Marble Mountain was rejected during that process.Earlier this week a leaked internal document from the Dymond Group indicated that, along with the airport business, the company was interested in getting into the ski resort business.

However, in an email to SaltWire Network, a spokesperson for the Greater NL Partnership said the document was from a couple of years ago and was more of an internal brainstorm for the Dymond Group about potential areas of interest. “Our investment is a signal to anybody who might be interested in looking at the facility, that we see the value in this, that’s why we’re investing in it and somebody else should, too.”Crocker said there are companies that do these things as their core business.

“For starters, this one is entirely different, because this is not an RFP currently for the sale of Marble or an arrangement with Marble,” said Crocker.This RFP is to have an industry consultant, somebody with extensive knowledge about the industry, come in and tell the government what it should be looking for in the next stage of a request for proposals for the sale or the change in the arrangement at Marble Mountain.
