PORTLAND, Maine -- A Florida-based real estate investment trust has reached an agreement to sell more than a dozen major ski resorts and other properties from Maine to California.Under the deal, New York hedge fund manager Och-Ziff will assume ownership of 14 properties currently held by CNL Lifestyle Properties, including Sunday River and Sugarloaf in Maine, Crested Butte in Colorado, Brighton in Utah and Sierra-at-Tahoe in California.Missouri-based EPR Properties will retain the rest of CNLs holdings, including Northstar California ski resort and 15 waterparks and amusement parks.CNL will receive about $830 million in cash and stock under the purchase and sale agreement. When the deal closes, it will be the largest ski resort transaction in the history of the sport.Skiers wont see a big impact. Long-term leases will remain in place, so mountain operators will remain unchanged after the properties change hands.CNL and EPR are real estate investment trusts, which are investment vehicles for a variety of properties including hotels, office buildings and malls. They own the property and make money through leases with other companies that manage and operate them.CNL Lifestyle Properties was valued at as much as $3 billion in 2012 with ownership of more than 100 water parks, ski resorts, marinas and senior housing developments. As part of its anticipated exit strategy, CNL has been selling off assets in the real estate investment trust.Under the deal, an Och-Ziff subsidiary will assume ownership of its share through cash and a $244 million loan.Steve Kircher, an executive from Michigan-based Boyne Resorts, which has leases to operate seven of the ski resorts, said its his understanding that Och-Ziff was brought into the transaction to diversify EPRs exposure to ski holdings.Other ski resorts are Cypress Mountain in British Columbia; Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts; Loon Mountain and Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire; Okemo Mountain in Vermont; Mountain High in California; and Summit-at-Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass in Washington state along with Gatlinburg Sky Lift in Tennessee.Kircher said skiers shouldnt be alarmed. Current lease holders will continue to operate the resorts as they have in the past, he said.From a skiers perspective, its akin to a home mortgage being sold between banks, he said.Its not an event from a skiers perspective, he said.---Follow David Sharp on Twitter at https://twitter.com/David-Sharp-AP.

The warrant says he had sex with her while she was mentally incapacitated and physically helpless.North Carolinas policy is any athlete charged with a misdemeanor is suspended indefinitely. Artis was not at the Tar Heels practice Tuesday, which was closed to the media.In a statement,?North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora acknowledged the accusations.We are aware of the misdemeanor charges against Allen Artis. I cannot comment on either the allegation or the investigative process. We take these matters very seriously and are fully cooperating with the appropriate authorities, Fedora said.?Robinson said in a news conference on Tuesday that she filed for the misdemeanor charges after police and prosecutors indicated there wasnt enough evidence to pursue felony charges. Her lawyer says campus police botched questioning and the handling of a rape test.Robinsons lawyer said campus police botched the handling of a rape kit and the questioning of Artis.Robinson, 19, said a video of that questioning angered her.Rather than accusing him of anything, the investigators talked to him in a tone of camaraderie. They provided reassurances to him when he became upset, even laughed with him when he told about how many girls phone numbers he was able to get on the same night, the sophomore said as her father was seated next to her. I was treated like a suspect.Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said no final decisions have been made on whether to prosecute, but Robinsons attorney Denise Branch pointed to an Aug. 2 email she received from one of Woodallls assistant prosecutors about the felony charges.ddddddddddddWoodall said he spoke Tuesday with campus police chief Jeff McCracken to confirm investigative efforts are continuing.?They took investigatory steps on Aug 26 and 29, consulted our office about that. And Ive confirmed with their chief of police that it is still an open investigation and they continue to consult with us, Woodall said.Woodall emphasized that winning a conviction on felony charges carry a high bar of evidence.Campus police had no comment. University officials also refused to respond to questions, instead issuing a statement that the school takes all allegations about sexual violence or sexual misconduct seriously.These matters are complex and often involve multiple agencies including law enforcement. While the university always tries to complete an investigation as quickly as possible, our priority is to ensure that the factual investigations are complete and conducted in a fair and thorough manner, campus spokesman Joel Curran said in the statement.Two years ago, UNC-Chapel Hill revised its policy on discrimination and harassment, including sexual assault and sexual misconduct after four current and former students and a former administrator accused the school of underreporting sexual assault cases for 2010 in an annual report to the federal government. Their complaint also alleged that campus officials allowed a hostile environment for students reporting sexual assault. The university denied underreporting crimes.Artis is a reserve who has one tackle in two games this season for the Tar Heels (1-1). He played primarily on special teams last year and had 19 tackles during his first two seasons.ESPNs David M. Hale and The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
