After likely opening in 1957-58, the Mohawk Trail Skiway steadily expanded. In 1959-60, the main rope tow was extended uphill by 350 feet, while a short beginner rope tow was also added.
For either 1960-61 or 1961-62, a rope tow was added above the main rope tow, extending the lift served terrain to the top of the mountain and opening multiple new trails.
In 1962-63, the two rope tows were replaced with a new 2,000 foot long Mueller T-Bar. In addition, a new 650 foot long beginner Mueller T-Bar was installed. near Route 2. In addition, the base lodge was expanded and two new trails were added.
