The saga of Black Mountain of Maine is turning to the good news side. The Maine Winter Sports Center, which abruptly closed the community ski area a month ago, seems to have found a solution.

UPDATE: 6/28: Brian Gagnon, CEO of Boston-based BMG Partners, a "problem-solving company," said at a public meeting of about 100 people last night he had launched the "Friends of Black Mountain of Maine Fund" at Crowdrise, an online fundraising platform. The fund had raised nearly $5,000 of it's $55,000 goal the first day. That money, if raised, will keep the resort functioning until ski season.
