Vancouver's Intrawest eyes asset sale to pay down debt - report

TORONTO - Canadian ski resort operator Intrawest ULC is eyeing the sale of assets as it negotiates with lenders to refinance and pay down a $1.7 billion loan, the Globe and Mail said on Thursday........

Not sure what effect this will have on Club owners, but a troubling article to say the least.

I've believe the same thing.. The Club is not expected to be significantly impacted since the Club is a different legal and financial entity owned by the members.

This mmay be more like Sunterra.

The developer goes out of business but all the owners still own the entire TS. So they (CI) may need to find a new developer.

This info may also help lend some weight to the stability of the Club.

Intrawest has been very active on exercising their ROFR for the last month.. Sellers seem to be nervous, and are accepting some really low offers- and Club Intrawest is simply gobbling them all up and closing very quickly.

I think I've seen more Intrawest resales reported this Jan and Feb than the entire last half of 2009..
