Summer Projects

Snow Secure

If you were on the mountain last summer, you may have noticed a large white tarp on the lower Coach’s Corner Run. What was underneath? Snow!!

We’re saving it so you can ride it next winter – you’ll see the pile of snow from last season on the lower Coach’s Corner Run all summer long!

---

Green Climber

This summer, we’re excited to add the Green Climber to our fleet, enhancing our ability to manage vegetation across the mountain. This remote-controlled machine can tackle slopes as steep as 60°, making brush cutting safer, more efficient, and more effective in hard-to-reach areas. Watch for the Green Climber’s brush cutting progress out on some of your favorite trails this summer!
