TL;DR
Loon Mountain Resort in New Hampshire is making exciting progress on its latest project, the South Peak Expansion 2: Electric Boogaloo. The resort is constructing a new chairlift with state-of-the-art features, including a loading conveyor. With the bottom terminal and lift towers already in place, Loon is moving ahead with the installation of the bullwheel and the lift house. In addition to the chairlift, the resort is also focusing on trail construction, which involves grading and revegetation to ensure the trails are perfectly shaped and lush. The expansion will introduce beginner and intermediate terrain to South Peak, increasing Loon's beginner offerings by an impressive 50%. Plus, with its convenient location just 1.5 miles from I-93, Loon is becoming an even more accessible destination. The resort has shared a video update showcasing the progress, and they anticipate opening the expansion to the public during the upcoming 2023-24 season.
