Pleasant Mountain
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
At Pleasant Mountain Ski Area in Bridgton, ME, Fall Line Construction provided excavation, grading, and snowmaking infrastructure improvements to support trail upgrades and lift expansion. The project required trenching for HDPE snowmaking pipe, drilling and blasting ledge, and stabilizing steep slopes to create safe and durable foundations.
