Sigh...another advertorial from G&M. Did David Ebner really write this or was it provided by Oberto Oberti? Those who followed the Jumbo Resort travesty know that OO is rather 'casual' with the truth about his development projects. They're massive insults to the environment, the business case for ski resorts is weak (it's more about selling condos and hotels than skiing), and adequate financing has been impossible to secure. 

This supposed bit of journalism paints a rosy, romantic picture of a heroic dreamer. The truth is Oberti is a capitalist real estate developer. He sells 'wildnerness' and then proceeds to destroy it. He's determined to strike it rich despite the massive and irreversible damage his unwanted, unneeded ski resorts cause to our wilderness environments. 

Real journalists don't write promotional material for real estate developers. They examine the facts, question the reasons, and they listen to and report alternative viewpoints. Rest assured, there is opposition.
