Our Vision

What’s coming—and why it matters

The Mission Ridge Expansion is a bold new chapter, built on decades of local passion and shaped by those who know this mountain best. It’s a long-term investment in year-round recreation, rooted in community and sustainability.

This plan creates:

More ways to play – with new beginner and Nordic terrain for all ages
Places to stay – from condos and townhomes to single-family homes
Room to grow – with expanded parking, indoor dining, and commercial space
Protection for what matters – through thoughtful environmental stewardship

Designed with the Community,
for the Community

Built by Locals

This isn’t a corporate vision flown in from out of town. It’s a homegrown plan crafted by teachers, ski patrollers, business owners, and longtime Ridge families. The result: an expansion that reflects local values and strengthens the mountain’s legacy.

Rooted in Sustainability

From early planning to present day, environmental stewardship has been a guiding priority. We’ve conducted years of studies, preserved wildlife corridors, and prioritized water quality—ensuring this growth supports long-term environmental health.

Driven by Demand

As interest in outdoor recreation grows, the Ridge needs room to welcome more visitors—without sacrificing the experience. This plan responds with thoughtfully scaled improvements that maintain the character of the mountain while preparing for the future.
