Liberty Mountain Resort is investing $3.6 million this summer in capital improvements. The Pennsylvania ski area has begun expanding its Main Lodge, with plans to double the size of the Alpine Food Court. A vaulted sky-lit roof will welcome visitors, along with a refreshed menu.

Also in the lodge, the Boarderline Snowboard Rental Shop will be expanded and remodeled, and the locker room and basket check area will be expanded.

Fully automated and more efficient snowmaking is being added to the Ultra Trail, Whitney’s Way, and the Boulder Ridge Snow Tubing hill. The $1.4 million in snowmaking upgrades should allow Liberty to open this terrain sooner in the season.
