The secret of the new snowmaking technology has been revealed! By turning everything upside-down efficiency is increased 47% and snow retention during warm spells is increased 52%!

These photos are real. I saw them hanging in the lobby of hotel at Jay Peak when I was there for a seminar. I just had to take a picture for posterity.

Completion of the Act 250 application and a hearing date for the ski area formerly known as Burke Mountain to add "on-mountain alpine ski trail lighting" were advertised in today's Caledonian Record. A public hearing is set for Tuesday, Nov. 17 at the Burke Town Hall in West Burke, preceded by a site visit scheduled to begin at the Darling Rec. Park in East Burke at 6 pm.

Night skiing at Burke would be pretty cool - I've been waiting for an update to BW's locals night ski pass - having Burke as another option would be great.

Night skiing on even the lower mountain would be cool if they had at least one or two regular trail options for folks instead of just the park.

And it will further hurt the Lyndon Outing Club.

Although I've got to say that I don't think there is a huge demand for nightskiing at Burke. They are barely holding level with their skier and rider days as it is.

Having the lodge will help with that! Plus it is only in the hearing stages.

With modern LED lighting, you would think it would be pretty nice for night skiing almost everything off the Sherburne Express.

The new booster pump arrived this morning according to their FB page...
