First weekend at stowe

This past Friday and Saturday myself and a few other students from LSC did some work for Stowe mountain resort. On the first day out group helped set up a race gate and finish line for a NASTAR race course. We then took a few runs and met up with Kurt, the parks director and several employees from the marketing department to help set up fences, a tent, and a pa for that evenings rail jam by the midway lodge. The first day was great. By setting up fencing and helping with odd jobs our class made sure that the rail jam would be safety fenced off from the general public. These jobs also assured resort managers that we are compitent in out work ethic and that the rail jam and race course are safe to use by guests.
