Renovation of a municipal facility in Camden, Maine. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This project includes the removal of the existing wood and glass curtain wall system on the west gable end of the Snow Bowl Lodge building, and the installation of a replacement wood and glass curtain wall system. Additional peripheral work is required for the installation, including rough and finish carpentry, light electrical work, and finishing. See the Project Description and the Construction Documents for more detailed information. Owned by the town of Camden, the Snow Bowl is managed and operated by full-time town staff. Originally opened in 1936 during the Great Depression, it was solely operated by volunteers using donated materials. Nestled among picturesque harbors, charming inns and award-winning restaurants, the Snow Bowl is also the only ski area on the East Coast with ocean views. The Snow Bowl is also home to the country's only remaining original, gravity operated 400-foot-long wooden toboggan chute. The current Lodge was built in the 1960's, and has been updated over the years as needed.
