Maybe Fortress Won’t Dump Whistler

by The Editors on April 24, 2009

1617Peak.JpgWhistler Blackcomb’s President and COO Dave Brownlie says that while he can’t comment on Intrawest or its owner Fortress Investment Group, LLC and how the companies are going to solve their $1.7 billion debt crisis, he doesn’t think Whistler Blackcomb will be sold, according to a story in Pique News Magazine.

“I can say that Whistler Blackcomb is seen as a core asset to the success of Intrawest,” said Dave Brownlie on Tuesday afternoon. . . “As a result, I am very confident that Whistler Blackcomb is not up for sale at this time.”

Sounds like something we’ve heard from more than a few CEOs on the eve of a sale.

I think it was the Summit Daily last week that had them saying pretty much the same thing about Copper and Winter Park.
