Chili Cook Off

This past Saturday was the Lyndon Outing Club Chili Cook off, This event went over with out a problem. There were many people from the local community who came out to support the cause and enjoy some delicious chili. The main role i played on this day was setting up and judging the skate jam. The jam was great there were tons of people who came out to skate and spectate. the music was brought to us by DJ Stevie B of VSS who also supplied the prizes.

Burke Pad Up or Shut Up

This past Thursday we took a quick trip to Burke and put on all the chair pads for the willoughby chair lift. It was familiar because i put on chair pads over the summer at Bousquet Mountain In Pittsfield, Ma.  Doing this task alone is a nightmare, trust me, ive done it. With the class of 18 like we had this task took an hour and a half, we worked as a team to complete the task as smoothly as possible. We Put 164 chair pads on in less than a half of a day. Good work class

Bretton Woods/ Mt Washington Hotel

On October 28 our class took a trip to Bretton Woods resort ant the Mt Washington Hotel. When we arrived at the mountain it looked like full blown winter for a second. There were snow covered trails and it was actually snowing out. We soon met James the skier services director of Bretton Woods. James was quick to welcome us to the resort and he also gave us a tour of the main base lodge. James was a great resource for guest services information. James also talked about his job and how most of the time his job is helping disgruntled customers, weather it be from getting rentals to fixing a problem at the hotel James does it all. After speaking with James we took a quick walk over to the maintenance building where we had a few words with Big Tuna. Big Tuna is the snow making guru according to Sean Doll. Mr. Tuna told us the basics on snow making and how the proper temperature truly effects snow quality. After we were done touring the resort we took a quick trip over to the Mt. Washington Hotel. The grand hotel is one of the few left standing today, many were lost to fires. We took a quick tour of the premises, we saw the gold room, conference rooms, lobby, the pool, artificial ice rink, and of course The Cave.
