AlpineZone Ski Area Challenge: Mohawk Mountain Ski Area

[Greg]

Ray Augustyn from Mohawk Mountain Ski Area also agreed to take the AlpineZone Ski Area Challenge! This is your chance to get official answers to your ski-related questions direct from a Northeast ski resort representative! Please post some suggested questions in this thread and I'll select ten to present for official responses.

As always, please be respectful of Ray and keep it civil. Also, please refrain from asking specifics about skier visit numbers, financials, demographic information, etc. Mountain needs to be discrete about certain information.

Ask away!

I have some:

Some Northeast mountains such as Loon use standard grooming equipment to "make" very evenly spaced mogul fields on intermediate terrain. Jiminy Peak is also planning to offer "man-made" moguls this season. Does Mohawk have the capacity to do this and is it something you've considered?

Can you chronicle the history of snowmaking and Mohawk's contribution to the technology?

- could up please tell me a little about the tornado that riped though the mtn, and how it effected the lift and the mtn, and can you still see the damage today.

-have you thougt about or planned to expand night skiing

Here are my questions:

1) During the ski season the Wildwood trail usually has moguls on it from the top almost down to the triple chair, this makes the skiing at Mowhawk alot more interesting. Do you plan to extend this feature to other trails on the mountain?

2) Are there any plans to pave the parking lot? The mud/ice is anoying
and dangerous.

3) The upper part of Route 100 never seems to be opened, is this part of the trail abandoned?

4) Are there any plans to replace/upgrade any of the lifts?

 

[Greg]

I've sent ten questions to Ray. Thanks for the suggestions!

Seems like a long wait for such short answers... :blink:

I appreciate the effort though...
