What’s new at Seven Oaks?

We’re always working behind the scenes to make your experience better every season—and we’ve been busy making some big improvements!

❄️ Snowmaking Upgrades

  • Converted several more portable snow machines to tower-mounted units
  • Enlarged Snowmaking Pond #3
  • Kicked off a 2-year project to upgrade our snowmaking system for increased snowmaking capabilities
  • Additional snow making hydrants in School Yard
  • Completed extensive annual snowmaking maintenance

🎿 Ski & Snowboard Enhancements

🚡 Chairlift & Tow Improvements

  • Partnered with 3E to test all lift electrical motors
  • Replaced the main haul rope (cable) and top bull wheel bearing on the Cyclone Triple Chairlift
  • Upgraded the Valley View Triple Chairlift drive system — this upgrade allows us to slow the lift down during loading and unloading, less stopping

🏠 Facilities & Grounds Updates

  • Replaced more window screens in the lodge
  • Added concrete around the firepit to improve access and aesthetics
  • Replaced aging boardwalks for a cleaner, more inviting look
