Sunday River Trade Show 9-15

On Thursday Sept 15 Practicum Class went to the Sunday River Trade show. Met some very cool people, who are known throughout the industry. My favorite person that I spent some time talking to was Josh, from Piston Bully. I asked the question, " How is your company incorporating going green into your groomers?" His response, " We have been making the engines more efficient, and adding components to clean up the exhaust, but  all these changes cost about $40,000 per machine." Patti Dykeman at Leitner Poma was discussing their recent projects, the biggest is the 6 person high speed bubble quad, the first on the east coast, at Mount Snow. The next project which her company is working on is the high speed quad at Burke Mountain which has a ramifications for us. I thought this chair was bought from Ascutney and wasn't new, but she filled us in that its a brand new chair lift that they bought from them, which I thought was awesome!!

A day at LOC

First day at LOC, got a lot of planning done for the future, My Maintenance group is trying to get a clean up day at the hill. This will include cutting down trees on the lift line and multiple trails. Also moving brush into the woods and cleaning up around the two maintenance sheds. Looking forward to next class.

This dude SENDS itttt
