Burke HSQ Update 10/26/11 Towers are going up.

I apologize to all of the readers that have been visiting my blog and found nothing going on for the last few weeks. My weekends have been filled with a garage building project. I was able to get up to the mountain for a few minutes after work this week. Lots of work has been done since my last visit a month ago.
Sorry for the dark/grainy pictures. This time of year it gets dark fast! Looks like all of the footings have been poured and cured and the towers have started going up. The are currently setting the towers that can be reached with a truck mounted crane. This includes the first three towers (towers 2-4) and the towers near the toll road crossings on the upper mountain. Burke's Flicker page has some really good pictures of the lift build.

Lift towers in the parking lot. I counted several multi-sectional towers:



Tower tops:

Towers 2 and 3 (Tower 1 is part of the base terminal)


Tower 3 and the Mid-Lodge





HAUL ROPE!


Tower 4

(I'm not sure how this is going to work yet)

New Race Timing Building



Some of the chair components look to be in as well:


Burke HSQ Update September 18th

Finally got around for an update. These are some old pics from over a month ago.

Picture dumping for now...
