    • Detectives Continue Search After Remains Found at Ski Resort

      Detectives in Colorado are ruling out for now the possibility that human remains found inside a snow boot at a ski resort belong to a man who disappeared in January.

      Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Cmdr. Mike Wagner says a 20-year-old man from Lafayette who worked for the resort remains missing. He disappeared after leaving work.

      Investigators resumed their search for more remains Thursday but reported no new findings.

      Wagner says an employee at Eldora Mountain Resort west of Boulder called police Wednesday after finding the size 13 boot in a clearing near the base of the mountain. Wagner says detectives searched the area but didn’t find any additional remains that night.

      Wagner also says detectives don’t know how long the remains were in the clearing.

       

    • Foreign Investment Comes to Rural Ski Areas

      Mount Snow, in West Dover, Vermont, announced last week that its $52 million EB-5 funded business plan to upgrade snowmaking and build a new lodge got a federal green light.

      The funds will be used to complete the resort's West Lake snowmaking project, which is expected to increase water storage capacity sixfold, and to build the new Carinthia Ski Lodge, a three-story, 36,000-square-foot building.

      A concrete sign that foreign investor business is carrying on as usual, the announcement came on the heels of news that the federal government filed fraud charges in mid April against the owners of Vermont's Jay Peak Resort for allegedly misappropriating in a "Ponzi-like fashion" more than $200 million of foreign investments raised through the United States' EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

      EB-5, which Congress created in 1990 and is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, helps foreign investors gain U.S. residency in exchange for a minimum $500,000 investment in projects that create or preserve at least 10 permanent full-time jobs in federally designated "targeted employment areas," which either have high unemployment or are rural.

      "I'm very concerned. I'd be foolish not to be concerned," he told The Commons last month, wary of poor EB-5 publicity. "But it's important to know that we are in good standing with the state of Vermont. I think the future of Mount Snow is great."
