News en-us NEW HAMPSHIRE’S RAGGED MOUNTAIN RESORT HEADS INTO THE 2011-2012 WINTER SEASON WITH OVER $1 MILLION OF RESORT IMPROVEMENTS, NEW GET RAGGED FREQUENT SKIER CARD AND A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH SPORT THOMA SKI SHOP Danbury, NH (October 27, 2011): New Hampshire’s Ragged Mountain Resort recently announced over $1 million in resort improvements for the upcoming winter season. Most notably, the popular Flying Yankee trail on Spear Mountain gains a brand new, fully-automated snowmaking system. With major upgrades to the water delivery system, the Resort plans to open both Spear Mountain and Ragged Mountain by Christmas Vacation Week. With the only high speed six-passenger chairlift in New Hampshire, Ragged Mountain skiers and riders will be cruising down some of their favorite trails earlier than ever. An additional 100 new low-energy, high-efficiency snow guns and a new snow groomer guarantee a consistent snow quality and a winter like no other. New this season- Ragged Mountain Resort is introducing its new frequent skier card - the Get Ragged Card. Skiers and riders who purchase the Get Ragged Card will receive 50% off midweek lift ticket rates and 25% off weekends and holidays, and skiers and riders will earn a free day after 10 visits. The Get Ragged Card is on sale for $59 for adults and $49 for teens, juniors and seniors. One complimentary early-season lift ticket will be pre-loaded on all cards purchased before December 25. New to Ragged Mountain, but certainly not to New England ski resorts, is Sport Thoma Ski Shop. The new Retail Shop, located in the Elmwood Lodge, will offer the latest ski and snowboard equipment and clothing; plus all the essentials that make for a perfect day on the slopes- goggles, gloves, mittens, sun screen. Ragged Mountain Season Passholders can take advantage of a 10% discount, plus exclusive offers through the season.

Much faster water delivery along with another 80 to 100 high efficiency, low energy guns on the mountain will let us open more terrain much earlier in the season. One of our trails will be fully automated allowing faster opening and improved energy efficiency. We also plan to make snow on Easy Winder and Birches this season. The addition of a new Prinoth groomer will make the quality and consistency of our grooming better than ever before!
