Big Burke announcement

[BenedictGomez]

What are the odds that www.skiburke.com is replaced with www.Qburke.com for this new website?
Changing your web address this late in the season would probably be a bad idea.

Slim to none given Qburke.com redirects to a Quinn Burke's professional photography website (nicely done BTW).

skiQburke.com is currently available though.

EDIT: Was available. I just bought it.

The new Website should be out in the next couple of weeks

They updated their lift ticket prices for this winter, so the new website coming out appears to have nothing to do with their ability to update the "specials" section of the same webpage that has the lift ticket prices.

True Q skiers don't need specials; only mere mortals demand specials.

You may end up making money off of this ! They might offer a free dinner with Ary to get the domain name.

Dagget and Norbert........"Angry Beavers" was the show my older kids used to watch it years ago. Might be on Netflix
Halloween episode nearly peed my pants.

I was shocked it was available. I mean, the NAME of your ski resort is QBurke, not Burke, so why on earth is your website still skiburke rather than skiqburke? That makes no sense.

All your other branding is QBurke, yet you have Burke for your web address? Huh? Very confusing for your customers. I set an auto-renew calendar reminder so I will keep renewing it so it cant expire.

Maybe a few years from now someone from Jay Peak/QBurke's marketing department will contact me. I wouldn't even be greedy about it. They can have it for free. All I'd ask for in exchange is lifetime skiing for me and my spouse, which, given I life in New Jersey would probably only amount to about 12 comped lift tickets per year!

Multiple references to "Team Beaverkill" on their Facebook page today. Some of the crew is new to snowmaking.

Unlike last year when it was below freezing for two weeks straight in November, at least they're making snow :flame:

That is excellent news for sure.

Maybe that's what I should do with the skiqburke.com website.

or you could just keep track of all of the discrepancies, changing stories, obvious lies, one-sided tales and overall insanity that is coming out of that place anymore. for example:

in CalRec Ary: no need to make snow until Dec 22. (which was stupid in the first place)
FB: Team Beaverkill is blowing snow all over the mountain.

Ary: We're fully staffed
ski burke.com: 17 job openings including most management positions and others that have multiple people in the same role (wait staff, ski instructors, etc)

MassSkier: The excellent FnB director from Jay is here now.
(we come to find out that, not surprisingly, he quit)
MassSkier: -----------

Ary: if you don't do an exceptional job here, you will be replaced.
ARy Sr.: good job son, keep doing what you're doing–it's working.

those are off the top of my head without reading back in the forum at all. sure, maybe it's too negative, but you'd never run out of new content.

That's because the bulk of the information isn't coming from the mountain but from this thread and most of it is just rumors.

Obviously Ary was misquoted or misunderstood in the Cal record. They started making snow on 11/14 which is probably the earliest Burke has ever started. They learned their lesson last year.

and Mark Castro (chef from Jay) hasn't quit. He is still there and doing an excellent job. I see him every week.

 

[VTKilarney]

All but one of the items quoted above are from sources other than this forum or are from you.

I don't think that Ary was misquoted. My bet is that he screwed up with what he said but that the quote was accurate.

Masskier, are you saying that they are fully staffed and that their webpage is out of date? I know they at least have a trained medic on staff now.

 

[VTKilarney]

I seem to recall that Q Burke is contractually obligated to make a certain amount of snow on the training hill by Thanksgiving (was it 24 inches?).

Is that indeed the case and, if so, is Team Beaverkill blowing snow on the training hill yet?

"They started making snow on 11/14 which is probably the earliest Burke has ever started. They learned their lesson last year."

Mass Skier if you are as informed as you claim to be you know this is rubbish - lets have some integrity and not try to rewrite history - the year before Q came in 2012 they made snow starting on Nov 8. Burke has opened and made snow early in November numerous times, as I am sure you must be aware they are contractually obligated to make snow on the training hill or they can be fined, in order to do that for late November / early December they have always traditionally started in Mid November. I see you're fully on board with Q's revisionist history...

LOL. While that might be amusing, it's a bit mean spirited. People love the place, it's not like I wish any harm on them.
