Laurel Mountain Ski Resort Set to Reopen
THURSDAY, 21 AUGUST 2008
Submitted By: Diane Vee Hormillada
Through an agreement between Seven Springs Resort and Somerset Trust Company, the Laurel Mountain Ski Resort is set to reopen. This is a 64-acre ski area located on the Westmoreland and Somerset County border in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands.
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell approved Seven Springs' bid to operate the said facility. According to reports, $6 million has been allotted for the ski area's renovation.
The Laurel Mountain Ski Resort was first established in 1939 as a private resort for the Mellon Family. Unfortunately, due to financial issues, the resort was closed and out of the skiing circuit for several decades.
At present, the land is owned by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, while the lifts, lodge, snowmaking systems, and other assets are owned by Somerset Trust.
