Replying to Intrawest buys fernie alpine resort?

jibs:
So this is all in the rumor mill, but apparently intrawest has purchased fernie's resort. There are a few facts to back up the possiblity:

1. When the original owner, heiko sosher, sold the resort intrawest was the highest bidder. Not wanting fernie to become like whistler, he sold to RCR for less.

2. This past winter, a coworker of mine at kootenay taxi drove around an intrawest employee so he could check out the town for a possible purchase of the resort.

3. In april, fernie's terrain park suddenly became a 'telus terrain park', similar to that of big white's terrain park after intrawest's aquisition.

So fernie alpine resort may have been purchased by intrawest. I hope the rumors aren't true. Even though RCR is crap, at least the small town local charm is still here.
