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.
