Yes, two quads- I believe the new quad replaces the West Express Triple.

New lighting and snowmaking were huge improvements.  New trails, maintained trails...

  Bar & Lodge are very nice, they're expanding and sprucing up the "warming hut" over at Northwest (where the new quad is going in).  I wouldn't be surprised if a hotel or larger lodge goes in there over the next 5 years.

They keep everyone very up to date on their Facebook page

**Harv, I think West would be a great interview for the site**
The day begins...  Your mountain awaits.

I see they have a video on FB about conveyor loading for a quad.  Having used them at Massanutten for a while, they do help for lifts that are used by a lot of beginners and intermediates, especially kids who get how to load pretty quickly.

Was the new lighting to replace existing lights or was night skiing expanded a bit?

As I recall the old lodge on the Mach - the best improvement for that would be 5 gallons of kerosene and a match
Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.

They lit up the entire mountain with LED's from The Cure all the way over to AOA
