I've got a few of those $15 night skiing coupons Shawnee used to distribute around North Conway. No expiration date on them. Wonder if they're still useable????

I've got free group lesson vouchers at Butternut...circa probably 07 or 08. If I turned them in now they'd probably laugh.
Was there an official name change announcement by Boyne?
Noticed this morning their Facebook page now lists the business as Pleasant Mountain Maine

I had a feeling they were tipping this way. Good on them.

I rode by there Tuesday night and noticed all the Shawnee Peak signs were gone. I kind of figured that was what they were doing.
You should be gifted one Terry. When I think of Shawnee, I always think of you and your crew there
They did a survey.
Overwhelmng majority choice to go back to Pleasant Mt
Interesting. Was wondering why they went with such a bland name. And had no idea there was any connection to the PA ski place.Boyne Resorts Restores ‘Pleasant Mountain’ Name at Shawnee Peak, Maine

I had/had a pin advertising the alpine slides at Pleasant Mountain. Probably from the early 80s. If I still have it I'll post a pic.
Maine is all about NOSTALGIA,
Overwhelming choice was to go back to the name from the 70's--mid 90's
Looks like a cool little place.
I get Shawnee is no longer polite and going back to a previous name makes sense.

It's a very cool mid sized mountain. Skis much bigger than it's stats as their vertical is really consistent with minimal run out. Good snowmaking and lots of nice character trails too. Just doesn't get a ton of snow due to location and elevation.
I think Boyne will do a great job there. Selfishly I wish they stayed independent and found their way onto the Indy Pass. Used to be able to find day ticket deals there occasionally, but probably not anymore.
