Mountain master plan
Mountainworks recently prepared an updated master development plan for the entire resort area. Due to highly variable weather conditions, Mountainworks’s master plan strategy for the mountain focuses on low elevation connectivity between various ski pods. The master plan also identifies opportunities for high quality ski in - ski out accommodations in and around the five village zones.
