Profile

A Super Pipe awaits snowboarders in an enormous framework. A shuttle service provides pick up and drop off from the various condo centers, including evening hours. There's no longer a need to turn the car on once you arrive. Another base areas is located in the Jackson Gore area. Recent improvements are two new double black diamond trails, a new beginner-friendly conveyor lift to replace the Poma lift at the resort's base, the new wine room at the Coleman Brook Tavern, two new park cats and two new groomers, and an upgrade to the resort's massive snowmaking pond that will increase capacity from 70 million to 153 million gallons.
