[2] Hussey Manufacturing Company of North Berwick, Maine, led hundreds of previously unemployed laborers in the development of the recreation area, which transformed the economy of the region.

This single-chairlift-serviced ski area was eventually phased out when two double chairlifts were installed to the Gunstock Mountain summit.

A brand-new detachable quad chairlift manufactured by Doppelmayr CTEC, Panorama, was built in its place.

This was the first UNI-GS chairlift in the entire world, and cut the ride to the summit in half, making it a six-minute trip.

In the summer of 2009, Gunstock underwent a $4 million expansion effort to make the mountain more family-friendly and easier for learners.

The Blundersmoke Terrain Park received new permanent snow guns, and the Side Arm trail was widened by over 50 feet (15 m).
