Cannon MTN & The New England Ski Museum

One rainy 29th, I visited the New England Ski Museum located at the bottom of Cannon Mountian. The Museum taught me a lot of new information. The museum also was in possession of 3 of body millers Olympic medals. As I walked around the museum I learned some interesting things. For example the birth place of snow making was at Mowhawk Mountian or that Cranmore had a huge impact on the start of grooming. Even know the museum was small we still got to watch a movie on the history of skiing and see the most retro ski equipment ever. We also got to ride the Cannon tram to the top, run to the look out tower, see nothing, and run back soaking wet. Even with bad weather we still had a good time and learned a lot.

Stowe

Recently I visited mount Mansfeild, home to the ski area Stowe. Over at Stowe we were given a tour of the new lift that was being installed. The lift was in its skeleton stage, so all the wheels and belts were visible. Looking at the track system from above cleared my understanding of how the chairs detach from the cable. Stowe is also the first Mountian I've been to where they store there chairs in a barn over night. The track into the barn is a cool concept and can save a lot of time and frustration in the mornings. The Doppelmayr team was just about half way done when we were there. Scott Reeves said the lift will be ready for the start of the season. After looking at the new lift we got to disassemble the old lift in there parking lot. The old lift was sold to mohawk ski area in Connecticut. Our trip to Stowe was a great, I learned a lot, and got some hands on experience. Stowe is a very nice resort and is doing very good. There golf courses are ranked in the top ten in New England. I hope to visit Stowe again soon.

Successful team

     A successful team is made up by individuals who have a goal in mind. I think the two most important qualities a team must have is trust in one another and good communication. With the proper communication and trust a team can become very successful!

My Favorite question of the afternoon is a combination between a identical question i asked to Pistenbully and Prinorth. The question was, Why invest in Pistenbully over prinorth? Then i asked the same question in reverse order to Prinorth. The responses i got were very different. Pistonbully said a list of advantages like: Stronger belts, better tiller system, and more customization. Prinorths answer was not as pleasing.  Prinorth said, that they are more customer friendly and better to deal with. Not mentioning much about there machine. All in all, if i was in the market to buy a new snowcat i would go with Pistenbully over Prinorth.
