Chatter Creek Summer Crew

Meet the Chatter Creek Lodge Construction Crew

2004-08-02T06:48:00.000-07:00

Scroll down to meet some of the folks who have worked on the summer lodge construction projects at Chatter Creek. They appear in no particular order.

Most of the photos come from the Vertebrae Lodge construction project in 2002. Some new members of the construction crew are omited, soley because we don't have pictures of them (yet).

Click here for more photos of the Chatter Crew at work. Our Chatter Creek Winter Staff Weblog introduces the folks who operate the skiing and snowboarding program at Chatter Creek.

Aplogies to: Christoph Lotter, one of Chatter Creek's chefs, and to Stephan Forsman, a carpenter working with the Chatter Creek crew this summer. Also apologies to Scott Herring, a past contributor, both summer and winter, who has moved on to build log homes full-time in Golden.
