Stowe

Today we went to stowe for the second time. This time we were put to work. We cleared all of the leaves out of the water bars along the toll road. We had a few people on backpack blowers and the others operating the rakes. We worked together and got the job done by lunch time. After lunch we hayed the summit around the new dopplemayr lift and patrol building. Then we got a tour of the new lift and patrol building. We saw it during construction earlier in the season so it was pretty cool to see the before and after. The new lift is top drive, has one electric motor and two diesiel motors for back up. It was cool to be able to go under the motors at the summit terminal. We were able to see a lot more of the parts of the lift and how it works. Can't wait to start working at Stowe for one of my practicum mountains. It should be a exciting and eventful winter.

    I agree! it was so cool that we got to see the ski patrol building during its construction then when it was finished.. They put a lot of work into that building and it showed. Their patrollers deserve it though, they work really hard every day of the season.

    Yah I Though the new terminal was pretty awesome. Being able to apply what we learned in other MRM classes helps alot. The ski patrols as well are very lucky. There going to be spoiled this year lol. The overall patrol building looked so nice inside and out.

    It was cool to be able to check out both the summit and the base lift terminal tops to see the difference.
