โLike any other business, itโs how you run it. So, I donโt think itโs tainted, I donโt think the ski industry is tainted. Weโve only been there for two years now since that previous management and situation ended. And so, it was a breath of fresh air I think, to have us come in and work our team. But no, I donโt think thereโs permanent damage there. Thereโs a place for EB-5, particularly in rural America. Definitely ski resorts, a capital-intensive industry. โ Doug Anderson
