Tussey Mountain Owners Eye Facility Expansion and Renovations

By Geoff Rushton (StateCollege.com) September 26, 2024 - When new owners took over Tussey Mountain in Boalsburg two years ago, they knew there was much work to be done to improve a lodge and other buildings that haven’t seen many updates since the ski and recreation area opened in the 1960s.

Now they’re in the preliminary stages of planning an expansion and renovation project to improve the facilities and increase their year-round use.

“One of my goals in taking on this project was to revitalize Tussey Mountain,” managing partner Josh Lincoln said at a recent Harris Township Board of Supervisors meeting. “It was built in the 60s and has since dilapidated considerably.”

The early concept plan includes expanding the existing lodge “quite a bit” to include a venue for conferences and weddings and a new bar and restaurant, Lincoln told StateCollege.com. It would also redevelop outbuildings for improved ski school, ski patrol and race center spaces, as well as potential small retail spaces for businesses like a coffee shop or a bike shop.
