[3] Due to a weak real estate market during this time, however, the lift was never constructed, although trails were cut.

[3] In 2002, the ski area was purchased once again; the new owners announced a $1 million investment in a new snowmaking system, called SnowMagic.

[3] The area did not open for the 2010/2011 ski season due to financial issues including $200,000 in unpaid taxes.

[6] On October 17, 2014, a company named Tenney Mountain Development Group (TMDG), headed by Michael L. Bouchard, was registered in Windham, New Hampshire.

[9] In February 2015 it was reported that the construction company working with TMDG had "presented plans" to the town of Plymouth, and that both of the chairlifts had been run recently.

Later posts on their Facebook page showed that the reopening of Tenney Mountain was moving forward, including chairlift inspections and snow surveys.

Also, most of the copper piping in the pump house was ripped out and stolen at some point during the five-year closure period.

[12][13] On the evening of January 5, 2016, Tenney Mountain started making snow for the first time in six years, using four SMI fan guns purchased by Sharon Atwood from a ski area in New York.

[16] During the numerous warm spells during the late winter, and into the early summer, Tenney Mountain worked on repairing and upgrading the Hornet double chairlift, hoping to have it inspected in June.

[17] Throughout the summer and into the fall, the resort worked to locate and repair bursts and breaks in the snowmaking loops caused by freezing water.
