Big Burke announcement

[kingdom-tele]

How about this variation...

man NEK, add a rainbow and a pot of gold and I think you got something with that emerald green

TB, don't know if your looking at the logo, I was not referencing the mountian in the logo. At least that one is a Monadonock. Some of the shop clothing was non descript, always seemed odd to me thats all

So you're talking about the general clothing line that they had....with stock images and the words, "Burke Mountain", right?

A few years back they ran "retro" logo wear. I have a shirt or two with the older logo on it. That was cool.

Qorrect.

 

[thetrailboss]

Qorrect.

:lol:

I agree with you. They could have been much more creative and made much more money there. One retail manager there, in like 2007-2009 did a good job with logowear.

The bear looks evil; I'm expecting to see laser beams coming out of his eyes any minute. I hate the "Q"; does that stand for "queer" as in unusual. How common is it for an owner to add part of his name to the business in that way. Seems very strange, queer to me.

When I think of "QBurke", the first thing that comes to mind is the old video game QBert.

Seems like they started the electric work today, including running lines up to where the new hotel will be. Does anyone know if this is just for the snow making or is this new enhancement meant to also serve the hotel and new facilities in the Mid Burke area?

We were talking about this earlier this month:

The latest:

Burke MountainPower Lines Being Extended For Snowmaking, Hotel

LYNDONVILLE -- Q Burke Mountain Resort is working with the Lyndonville Electric Department to upgrade electric service to meet increased power needs for snow-making this ski season and the planned hotel, LED Manager Ken Mason told Lyndonville Village Trustees this week.

It is for both. There are two co-located lines going in. One for snowmaking and one for the hotel.

 

[thetrailboss]

When will they open this season?

 

[from_the_NEK]

I think they might shoot for a Thanksgiving opening if the weather cooperates and if they can get the electricity in there by then.

Yeah, electricity would certainly help. Kind of odd that they had all summer to do that and are only now doing it. But that seems to be the way with ski area work.

there seemed to be some tree removal work on high meadows rd so they perhaps waited for defoliation. Also, no reason to absorb the expense too quickly before cash flow starts coming in for the season...

Just wanted to leave this here... For the first time in 4 years, The Wet Slot has been trimmed .

 

[thetrailboss]

Oh boy.....hopefully said stash will remain off the map.

And are they making snow?

IMHO it's too narrow to put it on the map. And no snow making yet. I think they are finishing up the new electrical stuff first.

As in?

No one thought otherwise!

 

[from_the_NEK]

In Jeans! It is actually quite a bit steeper than it looks in that video from TheTrailBoss. Here is the full run (starting at 0:42 seconds)

 

[thetrailboss]

Wow...there's a blast from the past...someone found one of my old videos.

And this might be of interest to folks:
