Anyone else think they should have dropped the mid and just called it the Burke Express?
Mid-Burke fans are probably going to throw a brick at me for that one. :lol: But it looks really dumb when spelled out on the terminals.

Why? Name is accurate.

They should have hyphenated it."MID" does look strange all by itself.

Is it just me or is this lift taking forever to install? Probably just me.

They started it rather late, but the pace thereafter seems to be about normal since the pouring of concrete.
A lift that took forever to install was the 6-pack at Ragged. I believe that one opened mid season.

Considering they placed the order to Lietner/Poma around the time other places were already having components of their new lifts delivered, I think Burke has kept to a pretty good timeline. The terminal components could have probably been set earlier but they were probably still being built in the factory and couldn't be shipped any sooner.

Since many of the folks from Leitner-Poma, and their sub contractors (the helicopter guys, etc) have also been installing the 6 Pack at Mount Snow, I know that the infastructure damage from Irene caused a set back in the schedule of about 2 weeks. And based on what stage of construction that lower terminal is at in those pictures and from how long it took Mount Snow to get from that stage to completion of the load testing and getting the lift certified by the state, baring any unforseen complications, the Mid Burke Express will be spinning with folks in riding in the chairs for Christmas Week without any problems.
On a side note, just from an esthetic standpoint, I think that the new L-P lifts look AWESOME!

Updates to home construction plans around the area adjacent to the new lift:

Approved Act250 Permit for model home (the Caledonian article seems to indicate there is an expanded version of this for the entire development):

500k homes - so much for the True North - There goes the neighborhood...
What were you expecting? They are selling $1 million timeshares at Stowe and Sugarbush.

Honestly, $500K for a 2000 sq ft (1000 sq ft Footprint x 2 stories) home right next to a summit lift is probably rather "affordable" by ski resort standards. Not that I have any idea what the current "standard" is :wink: .
Edit: Trailboss comes in with a "timeshare" standard. I know the Mountain Cabins at Stowe were selling for well over a million. Google isn't very good at getting me asking/selling prices at ski resorts.

That was my point. When you consider that the Bear Path units were "starting" at $1,000,050.00, you can see that these are affordable homes for what they are. I'll defer to Mass skier to elaborate as to the BP Homes...IIRC the price has been reduced. Most folks on AZ are not their market for this product anyway.

How do you know I'm not? Maybe I want to live closer to the mountains. :wink:
I misspoke. I'm sure that with all the royalties you have been paid by the mountain for those photo shoots that you can buy two homes. BTW I did not see you in the latest brochure....

They have been dissing on the other areas with their marketing then they do the same thing is what I am getting at. McSki Areas. Very contradictory. True (not) North
That's true to some extent, but a $500k ski home nearly slopeside is not a lot of money for that kind of product.
