2011 Ski Season

o  For those guests that experienced the most snow in over 50 years, we planted 160 Majestic Blue Spruce and Norway Spruce trees along the driveway. There was so much drifting and falling snow, we needed a bulldozer with a backhoe to clear the driveway.
o Central air conditioning was installed.  I don’t have to lug that window air conditioner up and down the stairs each season.

2010 Ski Season

o  Installed a Summer’s Heat wood pellet stove in the basement game room for a toasty warm entertainment area.  These are the most efficient and ecologically friendly wood stoves available.
o  Added a LazyBoy recliner to the main living room.
o  A trash can frame was built to 1. Keep the wind from blowing them off into the woods and 2. Keep the interested bears away. The friendly bear from the summer of 2009 has been relocated far away.
o  Completed the tree house for summer guests

Plans for the future:

We like to dream of new ideas for the Top of the Ridge and these are a couple of our ideas to add one day...

  • o  Close in the first car garage and turn it into a movie theater.
  • o  Build a small 1 room cabin with a loft for additional guests.
  • o  Expand the deck out another 8 feet.
  • o  Put an in-ground pool and then cover it for winter use.
  • o  Add a video game machine in the backroom
  • o  Add a treadmill & sauna in the backroom
