What's New

What's New(s) for 2010-11 Ski Season!

Shawnee Peak Ski Area is investing more than $1 million this summer into incredible capital improvementsl, which are sure to enhance the skiing experience of every winter visitor!

• New Summit Express - Faster, bigger, more modern!  The Summit Express will get you to the top of the mountain faster than you ever thought possible!  A faster lift means more runs per day!  Chairs are larger than the old triple, giving you and your riding partners more elbow room and a more comfortable ride.
• Maine's First Conveyor Loading System - Step on the moving conveyor and the chairlift whisks you up and off! Decreases stops & starts by 50%, making the chair run faster and more efficiently.
• Snowmaking on Sunset Blvd - New last year, Sunset Blvd provided skiing and riding from the top of the mountain for lower intermediates and beginners.  Snowmaking will allow this popular trail to open earlier and close later in the season.
• Additional air compressor - Shawnee Peak acquired a new air compressor for snowmaking operations, which means more late-season snowmaking capabilities when needed.

2,000-Foot Intermediate Trail - Sunset Blvd!

Shawnee Peak is proud to announce the addition of an intermediate (blue square) trail from the top of the mountain! Called Sunset Blvd, the trail offers picturesque views of the Presidential Mountain Range and, more specifically, Mt. Washington.

"The gentle terrain is perfect for skiers who want a nice, easy way down from the top of the mountain," said Ed Rock, General Manager. "Until now, intermediate skiers and riders unloaded the Summit Triple at Mid-station and used Lower Kancamangus or The Horn to The Main or Pine Slopes. But now, after Sunset Blvd opens, they can ride the full length of the Summit Triple."

Sunset Blvd will initially be a "natural snow" trail, but snowmaking operations are planned to be added for the 2010-11 winter season.

What's New at the East Area

Shawnee Peak's hidden treasure - the East Area - has been given a facelift, complete with a new Wine Bar, longer hours of operation and a new slopeside real estate development!

The Wine Bar, which will offer wine & beer, will be open Saturdays & Holidays until at least 5pm.

Lower Roosevelt and Mohawk Trails will stay open til 4:45pm on Weekends and Holidays to allow people who parked at the East Area to access their vehicles.

The Slopeside Duplexes at the East Area will feature 1,300 sq-ft of living space, underground parking and incredible location - right next door to the bottom of the lift. E-mail geoff@shawneepeak.com for sales info.
