A new Merrill Hill Triple will access the back side of the mountain and add to the Real Estate options and ski-in, and ski-out house lots. Also, the most highly anticipated announcement, a brand new, Doppelmayr High-Speed, 6-Person Bubble chair will replace the Barker Mountain Express.

Weather:
Thanks to Mother Nature and providing us with over 66 inches of snow this spring alone, it allows some spectacular conditions out on the slopes.
