KEEP IT WILD

In 2025, we made a significant improvement in our snowmaking capabilities. First, we added a 200hp motor to give us an additional 1000 gallons per minute pumping capacity.

Then, we added 30 hydrants to our Northern Route snowmaking line. These hydrants allow us to make more snow, faster to open this popular trail.

In 2023 we installed a brand-spanking-new Skytrac 4-person chairlift. The new chairlift runs parallel to Chair 2, and act as a replacement for the current Chair 3 which was the first chairlift built at Wild Mountain in 1972.
 
The new chairlift has become the primary chairlift used for access from the base lodge, but Chair 2 remains in use for summer operations and high visitation days during the winter.

 This investment marks the first new chairlift installed at Wild Mountain since Chair 1 was installed in 1983 – 39 years ago.

Wild Mountain has updated its arrival experience in a big way. We have modified our entrance into the base lodge with larger doors, windows and a modern exterior. The entire base lodge has be painted, plus we added landscaping to soften our grounds. 

We also removed the old schoolhouse building and created a new guest drop-off zone and roundabout. 

New bathrooms were installed in the upper commons and lower level of the base lodge for use in both summer and winter.

The Eagles Nest Restaurant has been updated with a new menu, updated kitchen, new flooring, new paint and modern furniture.

We are adding a new bar and lounge adjacent to the Eagle’s Nest! The new bar will have a long row of seats along the counter, plus it will have a sitting area with great views of the slopes.  It will open for the winter of 2021/22.

We will be constructing a 2,000 square foot deck on the west side of our building. The new deck will be a gathering place for afternoon sun in both summer and winter.  This amenity will be open for the winter of 2021/22.

We are updating our chairlifts to make them more beautiful and extend their life.  The carriers on Chairlifts 1 and 2 have been repainted and new oak slats have been added to give them gorgeous vintage look.  Plus, we’ve repainted many of the lift buildings and added barn quilt signage as a nod to the regions Swedish heritage.  We’ll make these same improvements to Chairs 3 and 4 in future seasons. 

We’ve reimagined our retail area to add space and create a more enjoyable shopping experience.  Plus, we've increased our inventory to add more logo gear, glassware and essentials.

The beginner experience is critically important to growing participation in winter sports.  And, learning on modern gear makes the first day on snow even better.  So, we have begun the multi-year process of updating our rental equipment fleet. 

Our online shopping experience has been enhanced with a new ecommerce site.  Now guests can purchase all of our service online with a single shopping cart.
