Tamarack Resort says it will be investing $1.2 million into improvements to its mountain operations in anticipation of returning to seven-day-a-week skiing this year. “It’s a new day at Tamarack, and we’re looking forward to expanding operations to every day and elevating the resort experience for our homeowners and guests,” project manager David Papiez said in a news release. The resort will continue to have the Tamarack Municipal Association run the ski mountain. It’s also signed on Replay Resorts of Vancouver, B.C. to oversee operations for the resort as a whole, including gearing back up real estate sales with cottages and townhomes.

The resort near Donnelly, which has struggled financially and has run its ski lifts just four days a week since 2010, plans improvements to its snowmaking system and grooming, expansion of its terrain park, brush clearing and general updating; you can read the full announcement here. It’s also planning to hire about  40 additional employees this season. The resort is planning a mid-December opening.
