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.

Meeting with Day Franzen, Freestyle Terrain Manager

During week 2 we visited the manager of the Snow Cat. His name was Day and he runs Carinthia(a ski/snowboard park) with the snowcat crew.He has 12 snowcats and about 18-20 people working for him and they work day and night to work on the park.His crew helps run the park by making the jumps.He actually began the park with drawings and that led him to what he does today. He is sponsored by North Face.And the finale piece of news is actually a story about him falling in a 15 foot crevasse in Alaska in a snow cat. That would scare me half to death he stayed calm and got out after help.
