Those who haven’t been here in a while might be quite thrown aback by what they’ll discover. The “let’s call it” vintage-style ski chalet has been totally revamped. Inside, everything has been redesigned and transformed into a functional and comfortable nest.
The only remnants of the past decor are the well-worn picnic tables in the cafeteria. “Impossible to get rid of them. They’re part of the history of Owl’s Head,” explains Mark Richardson, who is giving me a tour of the place. My guide is none other than the son of the legendary Olympian skier, Bob Richardson who designed the trails of this Appalachian mountain.
The metamorphosis also included the station’s small hotel, Mtn Haus, on the second floor of the ski chalet. Thirty obsolete rooms, which had almost no soundproofing, have been transformed into 10 luxury suites, for in & out skiing at its best!
