Roadmap

Build a hotel at the base. Overnight guests stay several days, ski the first chair, and spend evenings at your bars and restaurants. Fill rooms on quiet weekdays with packages and rates.

Develop condos on land you own and sell the units for cash up front. Owners come back all season, pay dues, and expect the place to be well kept.

Lodging next to a trail is worth more. Run a trail or lift past the door and rooms fill faster.

Neighbouring resorts on one mountain range, competing for the same skiers, or a shared resort built with a friend.

Everyone starts the same mountain on the same day; compare profit and guest happiness at season’s end.

Partner with another player’s resort on a joint season pass.

Earn something for visiting, liking and exploring other players’ resorts.

New peaks with their own terrain, weather and crowds, beyond Juniper Ridge, Maple Notch and Raven Peak.

Jumps, rails and a halfpipe that draw a younger crowd, with upkeep to match.

Thinned tree runs for experts, and gates to terrain that only opens on the right days.

Mark out an ungroomed bowl for experts and host a freeride competition there. The bowl stays open between events.

Open another base on a different side of the mountain, with its own access road, parking and shuttle, like Mount Snow’s.

Stay open into spring for as long as your lifts still reach skiable snow.

Mountain biking, an alpine slide, scenic lift rides and weddings to keep the resort earning after the snow melts.

Today staff are a daily cost. Next: hire lift operators, instructors and cooks yourself, and see pay, training and morale in line speed and service.

Snowmaking that needs a pumphouse by the water: build and place them, and the snow guns they feed make better snow.

A garage for your snowcat groomers. They start the night’s grooming from there, so where you put it matters.

Ad campaigns, a snow report, and deals that bring in the crowds you want, when you want them.

One button to put snowmaking on your busiest trails.

New events beyond races, torchlight parades and pond skims, and ways to advertise après-ski.

Designing your own mountain is paused while its terrain gets fixed, so Gentle and Easy really mean it: no surprise cliffs, and always a green way down. Custom mountains you already have still play.

Problems players report, and crashes the game reports on its own, get fixed in small updates, most within days.

Prices, crowds and costs tuned so every mountain is a fair challenge, from the first season on.

Smoother on smaller devices, with panels and controls that fit a thumb.

Calm background music and the sounds of the mountain, with a mute switch.
