The first investment phase begins in spring 2017. During the first period of the investment plans that ends in the winter season of 2017/18, TMR plans to invest 30 million EUR. Innovations that the resort can look forward to include a 10-person cable car in the locality of Parking u Kowalskiego – Hala Skrzyczeńska, a 6-seater chairlift in the locality of Solisko – Hala Skrzyczeńska, a 6-seater chairlift in the locality of Solisko – Wierch Pośredni and a blue ski piste that should connect both ski resorts of SON and COS (Szczyrk – Skrzyczne). The project includes a new snow making system and a retention pond for water. During the second investment phase, 30 million EUR shall be invested in a 6-seater chairlift in the locality of Hala Skrzyczeńska – Małe Skrzyczne, a 6-seater chairlift in the locality of Czyrna – Hala Skrzyczeńska and a 8-person cable car in the locality of Hala Pośrednia – Wierch Pośredni.

Once finished with the planned investments, TMR will have 22 km of ski pistes in the resort of SON, 81% of which shall be covered with man-made snow. Along with the neighbouring resort of COS, Szczyrk will offer 40 km of ski pistes of various difficulty levels. The transport capacity in SON will increase to 18,200 people per hour. The project includes 1,500 parking places as well. All these investments shall help keep the resort busy all year round. TMR expects to create around 200 new jobs in the ski resort of SON in future years, another 500 jobs on the level of subcontractors and several thousands of jobs in the whole region. 

TMR estimates the investments in the infrastructure and modernisation of SON during the first phase (until the beginning of the season of 2017/2018) will increase the number of clients to more than 500,000 per year. To compare with the past, in the winter season of 2014/15, TMR recorded 150,000 skiers per year at average conditions in the resort of SON.
