New for Winter 2010-11:
30 more TOP GUN 18ft Tower Snowguns. Scooter chair lift removed freeing up needed teaching terrain in the beginner area. The beginner terrain is now better served by 4 carpets. We moved the snowmaking line on Freewheeler to skiers left to better play with the wind. We added more rental equipment: Rossignol skis & Burton Learn to Ride (LTR) snowboards. We added 230 more rental helmets plus some Telemark skis. We're now offering private lessons to teach you how to Telemark ski. A new Women's Wednesday lesson program and a super affordable early season Learn to Ski package is priced at only $25 for beginners. We cut a separate entrance into rentals for guests wanting to enroll their children in our popular Adventurers & miniRIDERS kids programs. Our terrain park staff was busy over the summer building more rails & boxes while also creating a number of natural features. The Cruiser progression park was relocated to skiers left providing a better experience and more room for beginners on the right side of the trail. The Main Street Quad loading ramp was re-engineered and re-graded to make loading easier, especially for families and younger kids.
