News
Opening Day Set For Nov. 27th (Weather Permitting)
Chestnut Mountain now possesses the largest snowmaking system in the Midwest.  This first rate system consists of 70 strategically placed snowmaking machines & five 300 HP Vertical Turbine Pumps that cover more than 60 acres of skiable terrain.  The power of this snowmaking system is unsurpassed and has the capability to pump 5,000 gallons of water per minute.  This dazzling display of power gives Chestnut the ability to produce mountains of snow and open early, as you can see from our proven track record of the past 7 seasons.
