CutPeak Energy

CutPeak Energy is a lifeline for indie ski areas—often rural, locally owned resorts facing rising energy costs, warming winters, and shortening ski days. Snowmaking now accounts for 50–70% of electricity usage at most ski areas. Over 90% of skiable terrain in the Northeast depends on blown snow. Yet many resorts can’t operate snowmaking at full capacity when it matters most—due to feeder constraints, demand spikes, and unaffordable energy rates. Most operate aging infrastructure on increasingly expensive electricity while competing with better-capitalized Epic and Ikon resorts. These mountains are economic and cultural anchors—supporting local jobs, small businesses, and affordable, year-round recreation. But they face escalating temperatures, more frequent warm spells, and exclusion from traditional financing and lending. CutPeak helps resorts unlock the energy value of their land and infrastructure—stabilizing ski operations and generating more operational revenue. Just as critically, we recognize and embolden the ski resort's community value: money staying local, affordable enjoyment, and jobs in small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures—the bedrock of a functioning democracy. 🌐 cutpeakenergy.com 📧 b.david@cutpeakenergy.com
