Week 2 at Burke Mountain

Practicum had to be canceled this Friday due to some rough weather.  no big deal for me, i was on grooming anyway and didn't have to be to there until later.  Saturday i was scheduled to do lifts with Brian but when i showed up to maintenance there was nobody there so i got started with the park staff and ended up working with them for the day.  It was a solid day in the park, the lips stayed strong all day with little signs of rutting halfway through.  we did a few side sweep runs just to keep the take-off's in tip top shape and at the end of the day we went through and raked out all of the lips and the side's of each feature. it was a little harder than i expected since i still haven't developed a good technique for using those rakes.  it was a good experience though and i would like to do it again!  this is a field that has I have a massive interest in.
