Visitor comes to class: Lenko Snowmaking.

Tuesday our class had a visitor Dick Harris from Lenko, he went over a whole presentation on snow making. The presentation took us through the past, present, and future of snowmaking. It was pretty cool to see pictures of older fan guns and what the first generation of snow makers looked like. He talked a lot about the air flow and how it gets mixed with water to create the snow. Dick was a nice guy and knew a lot about the ski resort industry. Dick also told us a little about his history in the industry and how he got to be where he is now. He told us that he did not plan on making a career out of ski but he found a passion and worked his way up the totem pole. LAC on Thursday, talked about our presentation and next semester. Went over the different mountains we will be working at and what Sean expects from us during that time. I will be attending Jay Peak and Stowe for my practicum and i can not wait to see what each resort has in store for me. Bring on the winter!!
