Make Snow Happen

Help Us Upgrade the Heart of The Hill

For over four decades, Mulligan’s Hollow has been powered by community and fueled by snow. But our current snowmaking system—originally built in the 1980s—is running on borrowed time. It's inefficient, unpredictable, and puts the entire winter season at risk.

Why It Matters

We aren't just making snow. We’re making first jobs, carving confidence, and giving kids (and adults!) a safe, joyful place to grow. With over 80 seasonal staff, 742 ski and board lessons taught last season, and dozens of scholarships awarded, Mulligan’s is more than a ski bowl—it’s a local legacy.But right now, our system is at critical failure risk. A recent breakdown during peak conditions left four of six guns offline. We lost precious production time, and even more confidence in the system. It’s time for change.

Phase One

Phase One: Summer 2026 - Infrastructure Rebuild & Replacement

  • Replace all underground plumbing and electrical lines

  • Install a new pump system and pump house

  • Lay the foundation for a modern, efficient system

  • Estimated Cost: $622,357.17 (inclusive of taxes)

    • Mulligan’s is contributing $225,000 toward this phase

    • Fundraising Goal: $397,357.17 by February 28, 2026

    • Why the deadline? Materials must be ordered by end of February to stay on track.

Phase Two

Phase Two: Before 2026/27 Season – New Snowmaking Equipment

  • Replace outdated, inefficient snow guns with energy-efficient equipment

  • Maximize output while lowering operational costs

  • Estimated Cost: $461,833.60 (inclusive of taxes)

What Happens Next?

With funding secured by February 2026, we’ll:

  • Begin infrastructure work in late summer/early fall 2026

  • Secure consistent snowmaking for the 2026/27 season

  • Replace snow guns the following year for full capacity and performance
