so they want a developer to build vacation homes on these lots? Or they don't care what is done with them they just wat to sell of land?
The latter I believe. Sounds like they are looking for some quick cash.

At Burke for the first time since they opened the hotel and I've never seen something that feels more out of place. Disappointed in ski operations too...glades are still full of snow and all closed but trails like Warren's Way are full of ice sheets and random bare spots and open. Looking at snow reports Burke feels pretty lonely in the North country having its glades closed.
While glades are never officially open or closed at Sugarbush, they did close pretty much all their natural terrain today to help preserve it. Stowe also has a number of their official on-map glades closed on the report today. So Burke isn't really alone in this decision...
Well, do you really want to ski the glades on a day like today?

I did. The natural stuff was soft and skiing a lot better than the groomed stuff. Dipped into the woods a little bit where there weren't ropes and they were soft...maybe a little too soft where traffic was light. Carriage Road, Powderhorn, and East Bowl were nice and creamy.

I owned several permutations of the website domain for a while.
The geniuses in charge announced they renamed the place before acquiring them.

Life sure is sweet when you own all the rifles & bayonets.
Well, the first deal fell through because of concerns about Act 250.

Looks like another one stepped up to buy the land.

It's almost as if someone wouldn't want to spend several hundred thousand dollars only to have their plan crushed last minute by some willy-nilly, capricious, inconsistently-applied whim by State of Vermont.
And it makes the Receiver's work much harder. While he did find another buyer, they lost a significant amount of cash because the new buyer offered less money. So the investors, who believed State officials in believing that this whole thing was an "audited" program get screwed again.
