Jackson, New Hampshire — It’s been another busy offseason at New Hampshire’s Black Mountain. While they haven’t announced all their projects yet, they’ve been up to a lot.
Perhaps the biggest project of this offseason is adding a mid-station to the East Bowl Triple Chair. According to meeting minutes from the New Hampshire Passenger Safety Tramway Board, Black Mountain is adding a mid-station to the Triple, giving beginners a next step from the adjacent Handle Tow. The lower portion of Maple Slalom is a mellow pitch, making it an ideal spot for beginners. Additionally, the horsepower of the chairlift is being increased from 150 to 200 hp.
As Entabeni Systems CEO Erik Mogensen showed yesterday, work is well underway on the new lift tower that’s needed for the mid-station.
Recent Upgrades At Black
Since Entabeni Systems acquired the resort in 2024, major enhancements have improved the skier and guest experience at Black Mountain. This includes an expert glade expansion, refurbishments to the Alpine Cabin, renovations to the base lodge, extensive snowmaking enhancements, a new mid-mountain dining outlet (Sugar Shack), additional parking, and more.
This offseason, Entabeni Systems moved their employee into the Shovel Handle Pub (a hotel and restaurant that was bought by them this year) along with several snowmaking projects.
To state the obvious, Black Mountain is a part of the Indy Pass, as both are owned by Entabeni Systems. Indy gives you two days at Black, but they do also frequently offer discounted lift tickets for those who don’t have the pass.
