    Does Alterra plan any other new installations at Snowshoe?

      I’ve heard rumors that Snowshoe wants to build a chondola to replace one of their existing detachable quads although I don’t remember which one it was.

        The chondola will replace Ballhooter in 4 years. Construction will start in 2028.

    The top station paint job looks kind of ugly.

    This new lift is great, but it stops a lot.
