First Week at Stowe

Stowe mountain is an interesting ski resort, charging more for tickets than any other mountain on the east coast.  They target a higher class market than most other mountains and they have the amenities to attract them.  our first week at stowe started off by getting our jackets from Mike Manley and we were sent over to help Kurt prepare the terrain park.  We put in a few features and got the prepared for the park to open the following day. it was fun to work with Kurt and help be a part of Stowe mountain terrain parks. The terrain parks at Stowe are used by a large percentage of their guests and even the people who don't ride the features directly still like to see whats going on in there.  Terrain Parks have become an almost essential piece of every mountain.  A big issue with Terrain Parks is the safety.  many people can get injured in the terrain park so Kurt makes sure to keep a full log of every day's work and maintenance.  the park staff grooms the lips multiple times a day, and every time they maintain a feature it gets reported to dispatch for the info log.  this detailed information on the park is a tool used in case of a severe injury or event where they may need to investigate the situation.  The next day i was needed at the outing club and ran the lift for the town's people.
