In 2011, the White Mountain National Forest announced the scoping of an expansion of the South Peak area at Loon Mountain. Some 60% of the proposed project is on National Forest land.

A mid-2010s plan involved 21 acres of new novice and lower intermediate terrain, serviced by two fixed grip quad chairlifts (2,660' x 550' and 1,800' x 350'), connecting to the Cruiser and Escape Route ski trails in the South Peak pod. A new base lodge and parking area were also proposed for the new pod.

The White Mountain National Forest approved the proposal in June 2014. In October 2022, Loon announced a modified version of the plan for the 2023-24 season, including a 500 vertical foot fixed grip quad loading carpet chairlift and 30 acres of terrain.
