Cranmore ski area in New Hampshire is spending approximately $6 million on major improvements to the resort.The South Peak double chair will be replaced with a Doppelmayr eco-Drive, energy-efficient, fixed-grip quad chairlift.
The existing South Peak double chair will be relocated near the Beginner Basin. Terrain in Beginner Basin will be altered to make room for the chair as well as provide additional beginner terrain.
In addition the tubing park will be relocated and expanded from seven to ten lanes along with a new surface conveyor lift in addition to the existing handle-tow.
A year-round Mountain Coaster is also being installed that will allow guests to ride up the mountain and then descend at rider-controlled speeds.
Other improvements include the installation of 70 new energy-efficient tower guns that will increase the quality and quantity of snowmaking, especially during early season periods.
At the base of the area, the Arlberg Lodge is being converted into a state-of-the-art children's centre, a new ticketing system will make for smoother transactions for guests, and many other buildings will be upgraded to improve guests' experiences.
