I saw this little guy yesterday afternoon while doing a walkthrough. Apparently the 'O' in 'O-1' (the Flyer's official designation) stands for 'owl'...

It sure would be a noisy place to live, but then again it's cool to have an owl hanging out with the lift mechs in the terminal.

Now enviromentalists don't have to complain about animals homes being removed from ski resort construction. There are better places created for them to build their home. :D

Over on the East coast, the resorts have to deal with bats.

I used to have rats nesting in the 'V' of the diesel engine, but there was too much activity for them this summer and they stayed away.

Hey, at least the Owl keeps the rodents away eh?

Which reminds me, all you lift mech's out there, If you haven't got the chance to do it yet, start up your snowmobiles!!! It's a proven fact that yellow jackets & wasps are attracted to 2-stroke oil!!! and for gods sake stay away from the pipe,as I found out the hard way last week with yellow jackets (they made a hive in the exhaust, which got blown out...)
if there's anything in there they'll come out in 2 minutes...

In automotive class today, there was a chipmunk in the air box!!! still alive!!
Hall Doubles RULE the East!!!
