I would think so. The parks have been getting better each little by little. I found out a couple days ago had a inside source at wilmot that was updating me.

When vail bought our local hill in mn we got no new lifts other than two rope tows (that they put against the grade of the hill). Its nice to get an epic pass with your season pass purchase tho. Park did not get better.

Can't believe there hasn't been more people talking about Wilmot this summer. Looks amazing out there if you live close its definitely worth going for a drive to check it out. All new snowmaking system 30 new tower mounted smi super polecats, double ropetow, 3 brand new lifts.

And I just got hired there.

Starting out just Maintenance this fall. So much going on with the new lifts and snowmaking. Then in the winter will be grooming. Either in the park or on the hill. As far as the park not sure yet. The new park manager just started yesterday. I start on the 19th. Will have pictures and up dated im sure.

Keystone and Park City are each making Wilmot 10 new park features and Red Bull and GoPro are each making Wilmot one too.

The new rope tow should be nice. They also regarded the bottom of the park run for the Rope tow.
