As part of its continued commitment to divest the Marble Mountain Ski Resort, the Provincial Government has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the resort’s purchase. Through the RFP process, the vision is to maximize the social and economic potential of the resort as a four-season destination.
The RFP seeks proposals from those interested in purchasing Marble Mountain Ski Resort. The deadline for proposals is April 9 at 2:00 p.m. NST. The RFP can be found here.
Marble Mountain Ski Resort is the largest ski hill in Atlantic Canada and averages approximately 65,000 skiers annually. It provides skiers with:
- A vertical drop of 519 metres.
- 64 hectares of skiable terrain.
- 39 runs and four lifts, including the only high‐speed detachable, quadruple chairlift in Atlantic Canada.
Both the Premier’s Economic Recovery Team’s report, led by Dame Moya Greene, and the Rothschild & Co report into provincial assets, recommended the divestiture of the resort. Since 2022, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has made strategic investments in the form of upgrades and additions to facilitate year-round operations and better position the resort for prospective buyers.
Quote
“The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has taken a measured approach to the divestiture of the Marble Mountain Ski Resort. We have consulted with experts on the best path forward and we have assessed interest in the property through our recent Expression of Interest process. We are committed to placing the resort in the hands of the private sector, as they possess the financial capabilities to fully realize the immense potential of Marble Mountain Ski Resort, an asset of great significance to the region and its future.”
