on a steep nasty trail, we can do it! We have installed and repaired snowmaking pipe as far south as North Carolina, as far up the coast as Maine and everywhere in between. Tatro Construction has been working with Zap-Lok Pipelines Systems for over thirty-five years and holds exclusivity for the snowmaking application in the Eastern portion of the U.S. We currently process any API5L X-42 steel pipe from 4" - 12 " pipe and up to schedule 80.

One of our own, Frank Machia, sadly passed away in December. For those interested in attending, a celebration of his life is this Sunday at noon at the Belvidere Ball Field.

Below is a snippet from his obituary:

Francis “Frank” R. Machia, 61, of Belvidere, Vermont, built a 45-year career in construction as a heavy equipment operator and small business owner. He was a dedicated member of his community, serving on local school boards, the Belvidere Select Board, and as Road Commissioner, and was known for his love of family, storytelling, and bringing people together.

At GW Tatro, we were proud to have Frank as part of our team. We will miss his booming voice, his quick jokes, and the energy he brought to every day.

Wayback Wednesday: GW Tatro received this little plaque back in 1992.

Whitetail Ski Resort in Pennsylvania was one of the biggest projects we tackled, cementing our reputation as one of the best in the business for construction on the mountain.

We played a big role in helping turn Whitetail into a fully operational resort with terrific ski trails carved up the mountain.

Both Gerald and his son, Gerry, played huge roles in this project. Their work still stands to this day.
