Description:
Hatcher Alpine Xperience (HAX) is a non-profit organization formed in 2016 to bring Alpine Skiing to Hatcher Pass. Since the formation, HAX has built a snowcat building, cleared runs, and paid for the lift engineering. The ski area will be named Skeetawk, and more information is online at www.skeetawk.com. It is anticipated that the first phase lift will be installed in the summer of 2019.
The project is broken into two components, the water and wastewater portion, and the road design. The purpose of the water and wastewater portion of this project is to design and permit an on-site water/wastewater system to provide the proposed lodge with domestic potable water and wastewater disposal systems in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The lodge will include a 150 seat bar/restaurant to serve up to 675 skiers per day.
The purpose of the road design portion of this project is to design a road to access the top of the high speed quad lift. Road should also periodically cross the lift alignment such as to facilitate easy construction and maintenance of the lift towers. The design vehicle is a dump truck/concrete truck and if possible, the road shall have a maximum grade of 15%.
