Burke Work

This week we traveled to Burke mountain to meet with Dick Andros, the "big wig" of burke.  He explained to us the use and techniques of ski resort master plans.  I learned a lot from his presentation in the lodge,  i thought that it was very interesting being able to take a peak at Burke's master plan.  it was also cool how they decided on the placement of the lift, taking into account what MIGHT be possible 20 to 30 years down the line. This placement is the best spot to allow for the resort to be able to expand their current operation to the maximum threshold that the landscape could provide us.  After this we also took a peak at all of the new lift construction and got a chance to check out their new wind turbine as well.  seeing the turbine that close and even being able to go into it really put it into perspective how large they are, and Burke Mountain's is relatively small!  Burke is a very interesting mountain with huge potential and meeting with Dick was a good way to explore the progress, work, and possibilities of the mountain over the years.
