The owner of Granite Peak wants to update the hill again. He is planning to add 12 more runs (which would make 87) a new chalet, ski in-ski out lodging, and a 4th high speed chair.So stoked. Here's the link-http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/news/local/2014/12/16/granite-peak-expansion-estimated-cost-million/20494825/

I wouldn't count on it happening fast since they operate within a state park. Also the Skinners own Lutsen and they have been slow to make improvements up there, but maybe GP won't be like that because I think it sees a lot more skier visits than Lutsen does being way out in the middle of nowhere.

They really put up the new quad chairs fast the last two years. The west side of Granite is the perfect place for 12 more runs. The state park shit kind of sucks.

Seriously, $74 for a day pass at Lutsen and $79 fucking dollars for Granite. Might as well drive to Red Lodge or Bridger at that point, $41 and $52 respectively. It's cool that the Skinners reinvest in their ski areas, but holy crap, that's too damn expensive.

The season tickets only cost as much as 6 day tickets.

Granite is my home mountain, only 15 minutes away from my house; this would make me happy.
