Black and Blue

On Thursday March 19th I went to mount snow and skied down my second blue trail (intermediate) and at first I thought that it was extremely steep when I was going up The Blue Bird. However on my way down the first set of large hills it wasn't as steep as I thought it was going to be. I thought that I was going to fall but I didn't fall once. During the second set of hills it was less step and so I wasn't nervous at all then out of nowhere there was a trail that you could choose through a couple trails and we accidentally chose a black diamond and I never realized it till I got to school the next day. After the black diamond trail I just cruised down the rest of the hill and I found it easier after a while. That day I learned I could ski on more advanced trails then what I have done before. After lunch we went on Long John and on my way down I pulled off to the side and out of nowhere I got hit by a snowboarder and didn't get hurt whatsoever so I got back on my skies and skied down the mountain. We never had an interview but instead we had a scavenger hunt and me and Christian found everything but the hardest was finding the salt for some reason but luckily we got back the fastest and sorta won even though there was no way of winning That day I had a blast and can't wait till next week

Meeting with Jason Pearl with Lift Operations

Meeting with Mark and Carl from Ski Patrol

Week 5. For week 5 we interviewed the safety patrol. The older of the two men had been working there for two years as for the younger it was his first but they both have had previous experience with ski patrol before. The older man was a skier as for the younger man was a snowboarder. Growing up they loved to ski/snowboard and they also loved to help people so when they went into college and then now they both work at Mount Snow. In the beginning we had to get a fellow student on to the backboard because he was acting hurt. We did it safely and he had fun. The best part of the day was when I and another fellow student got to ride on a rescue toboggan on the way down some of the mountain and that was a blast but you get a lot of snow in your face on the way down the hill because there snowboard was sending the snow into our face. At the end we had a person in our groupe want to sign up for the job, but he was too young and so he is going to try for it when he’s older.

Week 5

Meeting with Dave Meekers from the Marketing Department

Week 4
For week 4 we went to the marketing director, the man who does all the marketing things such as Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, Instagram, Foursquare and YouTube. He is a skier and he hadn't skied for very long and when he got the job. He started to ski more often and started to get better and better. That week I had an instructor who was #1 in the world in women's downhill skiing. It was extremely hard to keep up to her when she was going slow let alone when she was going fast. The guy who is the marketing director loved technology and loved skiing so he put the two together and started working for Mount Snow.

Meeting with Sam Atwood, Grand Summit Hotel Manager

Week 3 In week three we want to the hotel at Mount Snow nad we learned all sorts of stuff about it. For example e there cheepest room one there slowest night is at least 100 dollars and they have the suite and that goes for a lot more a night.Then have a person who lives in the Hotel he pays rent and all the other stuff  that other people have to do when they have a house. At the hotel they have a pool some indoor and some outdoors and its the same pool and they have a workout room right next to the pool. The pools seams to be mostly heated.They also have an arcade on the second floor and its got an asortment of games. My favorite part was going to the room that looked like a large apartment in a way.
