    After operating for half a dozen ski seasons on the original double chair development, it was time to expand the area. While the original area had multiple novice and intermediate trails and slopes weaving through tall pines, it was lacking expert terrain.

    A 1220 foot long by 336 foot vertical new Hall double chairlift was installed on the north side of the peak, serving trails of all abilities, including short, but steep expert trails.

    In 2006, the Black Bear Triple, a C-TEC, was installed, replacing the aging double chairlift and increasing the uphill capacity on the north side by 400 people per hour.
