--Adding snowmaking equipment to cover 205 acres with snow, including guns and hoses.

-- Construction of a 3,000- to 4,000-square-foot building along a utilities corridor to house equipment that controls snowmaking infrastructure

-- Construction of a small reservoir near Hart Prairie Lodge and a larger reservoir (10,000 gallons) near the top of the existing Sunset chair lift, for water to make snow
