The appeal period for the ski area improvement plan has passed with no objections.

This means their ten year plan for significant improvements can get underway.

Andy Goggins with Mt. Bachelor tells us what we can expect in the first phase.

"We've got a list of projects for the first four years.  New lifts and terrain on the SE side of the mountain.  We'll be adding summer activites that include downhill mountain biking and zip lines so."

The other phases will include adding a new base lodge and turning the existing lodge into a kids center.  The ski hill also plans to expand some of the chair lifts from four to six passenger lifts.
