BESSEMER -- The future of the Blackjack Ski Resort is up in the air. Right now the resort is not scheduled to open for the winter.
However, those with the business say they're searching hard for investors.
They say it'll be a couple of weeks before they know for sure whether they'll be skiing at Blackjack.
The hill is ready, the inspections are done, so they could open the ski hill without a lot of preparation.
There was a deal to combine all three western U.P. ski facilities--Blackjack, Big Powderhorn and Indianhead--into one group. However, a lawsuit involving Big Powderhorn derailed those plans.
