Renovation was focused on its apres-ski facilities. The Tram Club at Snowbird underwent extensive remodeling to include a 12-foot, three-projection screen dedicated to sporting events.

The Aeries Sushi Bar in the Cliff lodge was also renovated in order to make it a year-round restaurant.

Solitude

The resort completed a $7 million lift-upgrading program, which included two new high-speed lifts connecting the Solitude Village and the Moonbeam Center.

The Apex Express high speed will replace the Apex double. The new lift will improve access to the heart of the mountain.

The new Moonbeam Express high speed replaces the old Moonbeam lift, and along with easier loading and unloading, it will offer faster uphill service.

Sundance

The focus here was on service and maintenance, and on manicuring its 41 runs.

Wolf Mountain

Among the major improvements for this season is the expansion of its beginner learning terrain, a more skier/snowboarder-friendly drop-off area and improvements to its terrain park.
