Included in that plan are expansions to terrain, three new lifts, a lodge expansion, new hiking trails, a lift-served downhill bike park, and a zipline course and rock climbing structure. Also on the drawing board is the construction of a biomass co-generation facility that will provide electrical power and steam heat.
