A staff naturalist oversees the resort's environmental projects, including restoring the habitat of the mountain, a major draw for visitors. The mountain base provides 450 acres of seasonal downhill skiing and miles of cross country and snowshoe trails. In the summer, the trails come to life with hiking, biking and horseback riding.
