Mad River Snow and Maurer Construction Team Up

Mad River Snow, Inc an affiliate of Mad
River Lifts, has joined forces with Maurer Construction, Ltd of
Penticton, British Columbia to provide design/build services for log, post
and beam, and timber frame structures to mountain resorts throughout North
America. The new venture is offering turnkey construction services,
including design, construction, general contracting, site work, and finish
work. The announcement was made jointly by Jeff Robinson, Principal
of Mad River Snow and Fred Maurer, President of Maurer Construction.
Maurer will design, fabricate, transport, and construct base lodges,
ancillary buildings (like ski school and rental shops), condominiums and
single-family homes of all sizes. The quality log, post and beam, and
timber frame resort structures are designed with the aesthetic and
functional requirements that are unique to mountain resorts. The log
buildings are energy efficient and the rustic alpine elegance of each
structure offers a visual impact and mountain resort ambience. Mad River
Snow will provide general contracting, construction management, marketing
representation and client support services for the venture.
Maurer has created custom log homes and structures for over 25 years —
from cozy log cabins to massive log structures of over 16,000 square feet
with towering rock faces setting the backdrop. Each structure is built to
exceed the exacting standards of the industry. Each log is hand peeled and
hand crafted by skilled craftsman working with the finest logs selected
from forests throughout British Columbia. Maurer is experienced with
complex construction challenges having built on the edge of sheer cliffs,
in extremely remote areas, and other unique sites.
Mad River Snow provides marketing representation, client relations, and
support services to organizations that serve the ski industry. MRS
Principal, Jeff Robinson, also brings to the relationship over 30 years of
experience in commercial and residential construction as a licensed
General Contractor. Jeff holds an MBA degree in Management from Suffolk
University in Boston, Massachusetts with an emphasis on financial and
managerial control techniques. MRS affiliate, Mad River Lifts, provides
lift construction, maintenance and brokerage services to the ski industry.
Prior to forming Mad River Lifts in 1999, Jeff served as a Construction
Supervisor for Lietner Lifts USA, Garaventa CTEC, and Doppelmayr.
