Burke 4

This past Saturday I worked in the park with Steve mahone, park manager. Steve and I rode together all day from 830 right till 5. Steve showed me his method of taking features that was slightly different than stowes method. Steve uses a classic top down rake style instead of the x pattern used by Stowe. A full day opening and closing the park was the most riding I have done in a day by far. Good parks benefit managers and employees because they will draw more customers to the resort and result in more profit and paid working hours. Grooming a park is essential in mediating high risk and high injury rate among all park users including staff. Parks are often sustainable because they mostly contain recycled metal and other materials.
