Investors Pitch Plan to Spur Public Auction for Burke Mountain Resort

Investors interested in buying the Burke Mountain Resort pitched their plan to members of the public on Friday evening, hoping to build local excitement for their vision and exert pressure on the sales process. Todd Firestone and Mark Greenberg, part of Green Mountain Ski Partners, LLC, met with a large gathering of community members in the town’s Community Building to discuss their desire to own the mountain resort and invest in its future. They shared their connections to the mountain with children who have attended Burke Mountain Academy. They emphasized that their priority was to improve ski operations, and to that end, Firestone said his family manufactured snow guns that would be deployed to enhance the terrain. Firestone said he believes that his group has a solid plan for the mountain and that an auction would put them in a position to acquire it.

They said on Friday that they hoped the public would help them pressure the receiver to open the process to a public auction.
