The villages are already there (in many, but not all, cases). But the lifts are typically not, therefore had to be build.

Whether the building of the lift are using either village funds or government funds, I've never heard of government funds OPERATE the lifts.

My first reaction is yes. The demand will be there as the climate kept on getting warmer.

But I know nothing about this place. Whether it's the best location for another ski resort or not. So I'm not saying I support the building of this particular one. Just that one needs to look quite far ahead when planning for a ski resort. After all, it takes a while to get it build. It may just be the right timing when it's ready.

sorry to respond to a post from april, but YES, this is absolutely true. Demand is not an issue for the reasons stated.
