This quad lift reaches the top in only 3 minutes and is called Tomahawk Express. The other quad chairlift is the Arrowhead Chairlift. There is a double-double chairlift (two chairlifts together). Normally, only one of the doubles is open. Then is another double chairlift (only one) called the Bushkill Chairlift that takes people over the Bushkill Terrain Park.

In 2013 and 2014, Shawnee was able to open late November due to an aggressive snow season.[5] Typically, skiing is open until some time in March.

The base building houses lounges, restaurants and bars, rental and repair shops, locker facilities and offices. A ski school is on the premises.
