Inside SE Group
SE Group was founded on the belief that creating outdoor recreational experiences is a powerful way to improve individual human well being, while also serving as a foundation for thriving communities.
For over 65 years, this belief has been the driving force behind our passion for helping uncover the unique potential of every place and space we serve. Our integrated team of planners, landscape architects, and environmental experts brings curiosity, creativity, and vision to a strategic design and planning process that helps our public and private sector clients navigate the path from first spark of inspiration to final phase of completion.

About SE Group
Our team is seasoned, collaborative, and passionate about our work. We are strategists, planners, designers, landscape architects, economic analysts, environmental permitting experts, and community engagement specialists.
Our legacy dates back to 1958, when the sport and lifestyle of alpine skiing began to take root in the United States.
As the first consulting firm to focus on the planning, design and operation of ski areas, the company established itself as an internationally recognized innovator and leader in the mountain resort industry. Since that time, we have worked on thousands of mountain resort projects—in the United Stated and across the globe.
Over the past six decades, SE Group has evolved along with our clients’ needs into a multi-disciplinary outdoor recreation planning and design firm, while staying true to our fundamental values and passions.
While by no means all-inclusive, the following chronological list is meant to highlight some key accomplishments, people, and notable events that have shaped our firm throughout the years.
At SE Group, we believe that outdoor recreation experiences enrich people’s lives and provide a foundation for thriving communities. Unsurprisingly, that permeates our company culture as well; we love getting outside! We are a company of hikers, skiers, bikers, and kayakers – but also gardeners, walkers, birdwatchers, picnickers, sketchers, rollerbladers, and canoers! That’s an important aspect of our love for the outdoors: we believe that it can (and should) be enjoyed in any and all forms, not just the “extreme” or “hardcore” ones.
SE Group is an award-winning, nationally-recognized team.
We have consistently won numerous awards and commendations throughout the years for landscape architecture, community and cooperative planning, and resort design.
At SE Group, our work is grounded in the belief that outdoor recreational experiences are a powerful foundation for thriving communities. This belief is the driving force behind our passion for uncovering the unique potential of every place and space we serve.
