Prepping for the Burke Mountain HSQ Installation (Part 1)
The new HSQ was Act 250 approved April 28, 2011. Before the ink was even dry on the approval, Burke started cutting the liftline. This was due to restriction on cutting trees above 2500' which is where the Bicknell's thrush nests between May 15th and August 1st. The new lift will extend from the field 275 yards below the Mid-Burke lodge to the just below the mountains true summit. The top terminal will be located roughly in the middle of the paved loop at the top of the auto road.
