  • Wintergreen Resort Receives Engineering Excellence Award for Improved Snowpower Technology
    WINTERGREEN RESORT RECEIVES ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR IMPROVED SNOWPOWER TECHNOLOGY WINTERGREEN, Va. (March 4, 2014) - Wintergreen Resort has received the Honor Award for Engineering Excellence from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Virginia (ACEC/VA) for making “a decade of improvements in 120 days” by installing a new public water supply tank system that more than doubled the central Virginia ski destination’s snowmaking capability. “We are delighted to receive the Engineering Excellence Honor Award and to be recognized for the exciting strides Wintergreen has made in snow making technology,” said Hank Thiess, general manager of Wintergreen Resort. “Our giant new water tank located below The Plunge Tubing Park now allows us to make more snow across all temperatures – important since Virginia can provide us with interesting weather – and to make a lot more snow overnight. Since the tank’s installation, our winter seasons have consistently provided the Mid-Atlantic’s best skiing and snowboarding surfaces. As we like to say here, ‘more snow equals more fun!’” Armed with one of the world’s most sophisticated snowmaking systems, Wintergreen Resort, located in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, wields SNOWPOWER thanks to the $6 million infrastructure improvements that include the new 5 million gallon water storage tank and upgrades to the York® computerized snowmaking equipment. The resort now makes twice as much snow, twice as fast. The tank system was designed by Wiley Wilson and was cited as one of the top seven engineering achievements completed in Virginia during 2013. The award recognizes the firm’s leadership bringing together a pre-eminent team of design-build professionals implementing vital water system improvements for the Wintergreen community just in time for the 2012-2013 winter season.

I do it every spring − spring is tornado season! Some storm chasers are scientists. Others, like me, just like the adventure. We do it in our free time. This month, I’m chasing storms with my friend, Joe. We don’t see a tornado with every storm, but we often do! Day 1 We’re driving through Tornado Alley in the USA. We’re starting our trip in Nebraska. We’ve got a computer, a video camera and instruments that tell us about the weather. Joe is looking at satellite weather reports on the internet. He uses information in the reports to calculate where the storm is starting. Joe says we’ve got a long drive in our truck today. 2 . So let’s go! insight Elementary Workbook Unit 4 pp.40–41 © Oxford University Press 20 14 1 Day 2 We’re in the middle of an incredible storm! 3 . There are a lot of clouds and it’s very windy. The wind speed is 160 km per hour! It’s raining. Driving is very dangerous at the moment because there’s a lot of water on the roads. It’s flooded in places. But there aren’t any tornadoes!
