Big Burke announcement

[thetrailboss]

WTH is the deal with this?

It's either:

A) A reference to trapping/killing beaver
B) A reference to ******* women

Neither is a very intelligent name from a PR perspective.

That said, I wasn't born yesterday and realize that snowmaking crews are normally virtually 100% men, and skew young. It's obviously a sexual reference, and I'm guessing whoever runs Burke's social media campaign isn't a threat to cure cancer. My guess is they'll say it has something to do with the Beaverkill river, which is not in Vermont, but come on......

Take a wild guess who is doing the marketing.

I hear that food and beverage will now be known as "Team Pussyslayer".

That won't help appease the locals.

Im pretty sure anyone who uses the term beaver sexually, and by default would be offended by it, are at least Benedicts age.

I don't know what that means. I assume by most of Benedicts posts (I.e. he knows everything) that he's 20-24. So what do you mean by "at least"?

 

[SkiingInABlueDream]

laugh if this is stupid... Is there any chance that "Beaverkill" was a facetious implication that their snowmaking system is powerful enough to empty the sourcepond(s), ruining the beaver's habitit and thus... killing them?

That's awful. Where was this published?

If I was to wager, I would argue the opposite and he's at least 50.

Only a 20 something know it all would place that bet.........

I'll take that wager. Let's put it this way.... Bet he's closer to 20 than 50.
Once you get past 25 you start realizing you might not be the authority on everything.

Looks like Burke is blowing snow for real. Well done!

Your psychological profile is ideologically perfect. So angry.

I think you're way over-thinking it, though that would be an ingenious backup plan if anyone ever did ask them what it means. They should go with that.

If they ever get the aquatic center built, I think we all know what the divers will be called.

Just saw some pics from Burke. This one struck me as odd because the Hotel seems to be largely in the same state as it was three weeks ago:

Granted we know that they are doing a lot of work in the basement (that you can't see). Are they planning on doing anything more this winter on the upper levels or are they hanging it up for now?

What is that supposed to be? Whatever it is is just barely going.

If you look at the Webcam, you can see that they are putting up plywood to the left of this image. The plywood was visible in the recent drone film that was released.
