Aside from another round of late-season snow storms (epic powder days at Snowbird!), May has been another productive month for construction activity at Sommét Blanc. Major milestones include the completion of the base slab and the installation of foundation water-proofing and tied rebar structure in preparation for pouring the mat slab for Building C. Excavation has continued at Building B, with shoring installation at the east wall.
