So What Else Is New At Liberty?

We've already mentioned the return of the $399 Season Pass, the removal and replacement of the Eastwind Quad chairlift on the backside of the mountain, the redesign of the Alpine Room, the lifting of the First Class Area Quad chairlift, and other projects like the filling in of the halfpipe, the laying of new snowmaking pipelines, the Alpine Patio expansion, and finally, the Bakery redesign.

So what else is new at Liberty?

Believe it or not, there's tons more to mention when it comes to new and exciting projects at Liberty. Here's what else:

Group Sales and Ski School are receiving a complete renovation of their office areas. Not only will this be added convenience for our employees, but also our guests participating in lessons and group visits. The renovation should be done soon. Here's what one half of The Learning Center Lobby looked like mid-reno:

In an effort to support the ski industry's latest helmet safety initiative, we are adding hundreds of new helmets to our rental inventory. Helmet use will be a top priority during our mountain safety campaign this upcoming season so we are happy to announce that more skiers and boarders will have the opportunity to rent helmets during their visit to our mountain.


We are also adding another groomer to our family - the Pisten Bully 600. It's one of the biggest and best of its kind so we're pumped to see what kind of results it will produce this winter. Here's a picture of one of our current groomers. Just imagine something bigger and bolder, and that's the 600.

Check out all the details on these, and other new and exciting additions on our website.

September Is Here - Winter Is Near!

It's already September 4th. Wow. Where has this summer gone? Have you been as busy as we've been here at Liberty? Maybe that's what's been keeping the time going by so quickly...

We were warned yesterday at our general staff meeting that the Mountain Team will look to start making snow in 90 days. 90 DAYS! That's like three months away! OK, so it is three months away, but doesn't that number just hit you like a ton of bricks!?! With the way time has been flying by recently, 90 days is not a long time.

September is here, which means winter is near, and we'll be ready for the new season with our latest and greatest resort upgrades!

Well all, the halfpipe is officially gone. The area has been filled in and will be better utilized as a progression area from now on. Such a big, open space, isn't it? What more could we do this area?? ;)

There's also been some movement of the land between the Vertigo and West Side terrain parks. Snowmaking pipelines are being installed...


The Alpine Patio expansion is just about complete. Can you just imagine the amazing mountain views you're going to get from here in the winter time!?

The Bakery redesign is well on its way. The new look is definitely taking shape, and looking more like our Alpine Room and Alpine Market.

More pictures to come on these Liberty projects. Remember, 90 days until we start making snow....

Recent Weddings at Liberty

Liberty was host to two weddings this past weekend. Both couples were able to get married outside with a lush green mountain and beautiful blue sky as their backdrop.

The first wedding was held at the resort's main lodge area. The outdoor ceremony was held on the Alpine Patio (first one since its redesign last year) and the reception was held in the newly redesigned Alpine Room. Here are some pictures of the outdoor ceremony set-up before the wedding events began:

Gorgeous flower arrangements!

The second wedding was held at the Boulder Ridge Lodge. After clouds of rain swept through, the ceremony was held outside at the gazebo. Before the guests arrived, we were able to get some great shots of the reception details. Theme for this wedding: paper cranes - over 1000 of them!

Some tables had bamboo centerpieces - a great place to hang the paper cranes.

Paper cranes everywhere! They were so beautiful.

With this being the last day of August, the end of wedding season is quickly approaching. There are still plenty more weddings to be had in September and October, however, and we'll be sure to share those wedding stories with you. Have a great week!

Another Lift Lifted At Liberty

The Eastwind Quad lift station wasn't the only thing to be "lifted" at Liberty Mountain. Late last week, the First Class Area Quad chairlift's bottom lift station was lifted four feet in the air!

To continue enhancing the Beginner Experience here at Liberty, it was essential that the bottom lift station of the First Class Area Quad be rearranged and improved. Raising the lift station four feet and remounting it atop four-foot "thimbles" will greatly help the loading process for skiers and boarders in the First Class Area. Instead of filtering down and in towards the lift station to load, skiers and boarders will now be able to move straight into the loading area, which should relieve overall congestion as well.

The large crane that was used to the lift the Eastwind Quad lift station a couple of weeks ago was used to complete our most recent lifting project. Even though the lift station weighs ton after ton, it didn't take long for the crane to make the move. Before we knew it, the lift station was remounted and ready to go.

Off the ground and in the air!

Repositioning for the remounting.

The Mountain Team will be working on the land up until ski season building up the earth and fully completing the project. Bring it on skiers and boarders! The First Class Area bottom lift station will be waiting for you.

First Liberty Wedding in Alpine

Now that the Alpine Room redesign is completely finished and looking very lodge-like, we are very excited to blog about the first wedding in the Alpine Room since the project completion.

On August 8th, the Alpine Room was "all the buzz" between the bride, groom, their families and guests, and our Liberty staff members. Everyone was very pleased with the way things looked against the Alpine Room's wood-accents and lodge-like atmosphere. The tables were covered with ivory linens which complemented the room's warm colors very nicely and the large windows allowed for beautiful sunlight to shine upon the wedding day's events.

The bride and groom decided to have both their ceremony and reception in the Alpine Room. The room's signature stone fireplace served as a centerpiece and background for the ceremony. Guests watched the ceremony from their dinner tables and immediately moved into a lively reception after the bride and groom "tied the knot." Take a look at how beautiful...

Eastwind Quad: REMOVED!

The Eastwind Quad has been officially removed from the backside of the mountain! Below is a quick summary of the chairlift's remaining days on the mountain...

A large crane was brought in last week to handle all the big, last-minute stuff, including the removal of the chairlift's top station. It's not everyday you see a chairlift station "flying" in the air! We were so excited to catch some of the action.

All strapped in and ready to fly!

It's quite a site to see, isn't it?

One of the last things to do was to remove the final lift tower from the top of the mountain. It's not everyday you see a lift tower "flying" in the air either.

The new chairlift will be put in place over the next few months and will be ready for the new ski season. We'll keep you updated on its progression.
