Taylor plans to have 17 fully functional slopes for riders to enjoy. The #2 chairlift, Turkey Trot, will also be open to guarantee full access to the mountain. Once a two-person seater, the entire lift is being replaced to allow four riders per chair.
Over the years there has also been a substantial increase in shrubbery and trees coating the walls of the slopes. This has prevented riders from utilizing the mountain in its entirety and is one of the leading causes of riders colliding with one another. To ensure that there is enough space to increase occupancy at the mountain, all slopes will be revived to their original width. Cutting back the excess trees will also allow for better lighting for night-time riders.
