SAM Magazine--Baker City, Ore., July 29, 2010--As SAM first reported on July 12, the Baker County commissioners were looking at voting to take over control of the Ski Anthony Lakes resort. Two days ago they did and unanimously agreed to take over the local area.

According to published reports, it has yet to be decided whether the county will operate the ski area next winter or whether a nonprofit organization will be formed to do so.

During most of the last 12 years, the three couples that own Ski Anthony Lakes-Lee and Connie Kearney, Parke and Gail Ball, and Kim and Dana Kutsch-have operated at a small loss. They have lost about $45,000 annually in recent years, according to figures given to the county commissioners. These owners will retain the business until November 1, giving the county time to plan and organize.
