Inscription.
When Shawnee Mountain opened in 1975, we were an "upside down" mountain, meaning guests parked up here at the summit and skied down before ever getting on a chairlift. Three years after our grand opening we started to build our footbridge over the pond, and from then on all activities took place in our current base area.
