Burke Mountain

This week we traveled to Burke Mountain. Burke has been very busy with their new wind mill and high speed lift. Dick Andross, vice president of mountain operations, showed us Burke's master plan, which was very impressive. It showed two new areas to add trails. It also showed new lifts and moving chair lifts the willoughby quad near the Cutter Inn. If Tim McGuire, General Manager,  is going to do all of this while he is the GM this would probably take a good ten years, but it shows that there is always some project or expansion happening at Burke every year. I'm sure that Burke will be needing help with this in the future....job oppurtunities? We then went up to the summit to check out the new wind mill. The massive wind mill provides 15-20% of energy annually. Burke will get there money back in 2 years. I am looking forward to riding the new lift and seeing what happens to Burke in the future.
