   "We are very pleased that the Board has given us the approval to move ahead on this critical building block for the Resort," said Mike Collins, CEO of Winter Sports, Inc. and President of Big Mountain Resort. "The opportunity to augment our business with year round conferencing will be a tremendous boon, especially during shoulder and summer months, the prime season for meetings of all kinds."
   
   The Crown of the Continent Conference Center will offer 41,000 square feet in three stories including 2 levels of meeting rooms and public space consisting of 8 different sizes and configurations. An under ground parking level will accommodate 36 vehicles. The facility will be state-of-the-art in technology, comfort, flexibility and services. The plan includes a full catering kitchen and general public concession services designed to serve groups of all sizes up to 1000 people depending on their needs.
   ...
   "Assuming we are successful with our next steps," Collins went on to say, "we will break ground on the Crown of the Continent Conference Center in January of 2003. As such, we are actively planning for the impact this will have on our guests this winter. However, many of decisions have already been made because of the construction of Morning Eagle Lodge."
   
   The development of the conference center this winter will mean the removal of the ‘Stube Chuckwagon Bar and Grill sometime this fall.
   
   "We actively pursued several interim options to save the Bierstube but over time and with a lot of input from a large number of people, all the options were ruled out for a variety of very good reasons," said Collins. "There is a soft spot in all of our hearts for the ‘Stube and for the fun that put the establishment on the map for visitors and locals alike. The ‘Stube has been in at least two locations on the Mountain over the years and we intend for it to live again in yet another location as the Village renewal becomes reality."
   
   Resort developer Hines Resorts is currently building Morning Eagle Lodge, a new retail and residential building in the heart of the Big Mountain's Glacier Village. Condo units were offered in pre-sales in February of 2002. There are a few remaining units on the market at this time.
