Big Burke announcement

[dlague]

I some fashion I feel bad for Ary with all the disdain, however, I think many on here do want Burke to succeed and are looking forward to improvements and he was not making it happen operationally. That being said, some of the changes that are coming are not what many really wanted but are probably necessary to increase traffic speaking of the Hotel and Conference Center as well as the Indoor Aquatic and Tennis facilities. Separating Burke from the community in some respects was not wise in my opinion.

Adding Mid Burke Express was a huge improvement, the new hotel will have amenities that will eliminate the need to use the Sherburne part of the resort IMO since it is a slight PITA to get from there to MBE and there is litte to offer over there. The nice thing - their glades are great and that will not change outside of more skier traffic which could suck.

If taking issue over Ary's management decisions is whining, I wonder if Masskier will tell Stenger that he just became the biggest whiner out there? I highly doubt it.

Post #4199:

Todd Gagnon was the general manager - although he didn't make much of a presence as far as being in the public eye. His LinkedIn page says that he last worked at Q Burke in April, 2015. https://www.linkedin.com/pub/todd-gagnon/84/802/28b

He was in a tough situation. I hope he does well in the future.

I see things are pretty much the same here. Same couple of people still whining.

FYI, Lots of things happening at the mountain. The GM for the hotel was hired and started a few months ago.

Pot call kettle black.

And this doesn't advance the discussion.

What discussion are you talking about?

This whole thread sucks.

Couldn't really give a FF.

Not all of it, but most of it. This post is a contribution to the sucking part of the thread.

Can't wait for winter to come back.

Any progress on the snowmaking work? Pics anyone?

Everything coming out of Burke is about mountain biking at this time!

However there is this little morsel

Sharing a little sunshine for this dreary day. Arriving this afternoon: two giant spools of power cables for the new guns being installed on the training hill. We're moving right along.

Interesting. Anything more about the Hotel?

They recently posted that it's on track to open in December.

I head through the grapevine that Ary Jr. may sill have a role in food and beverage. Has anyone else heard this?
