Big Toys for Big Boys
Komatsu D275AX-5, 410 HP, 109,900 lb, crawler dozer, for more details check online at http://www.komatsuamerica.com/
This machine was too heavy to make it up the first steep hill on the Camp May road. So it was moved off the trailer and Mike Green drove it up the old road, over rocks and fallen trees to a flatter area. Then it was brought up to the ski area by the truck.
The ski area is renting it for a month to create a terrain park at the top of Easy Mother.
Milt has been working dismantling the old terrain park at the bottom of Lumber Yard. Today he was able to do in three hours what would have taken him over a day with the ski area's small D-4 bulldozer. Needless to say he was having fun, big time.
And we skiers will enjoy having that great lower Lumberyard to make tracks on next winter, the snowboarders can jump and flip at the top of Big Mother, big improvement!
Mike Green and friend.
