First class at LOC

Today (september 8) we got together as a class. We all met at the lyndon outting club at around 8am. The day started off by doing a few small group activities which included: listing the different departments in the ski resort industry. After being giving scenerio's we had to list how many of these departments went hand in hand with the scenerio's. I found it kind of interesting how many departments in the ski industry are actually considered important. Guest services always seemed to be the most important which makes sense. Following these activities the class was put into four groups. Each group had a job there we responsible for. They included, marketing, sustainability, events and trail maintenance. My job along with my other group members were responsible for the events portion. The task was to think of an event and come up with a good outline of that event which would be held at the lyndon outting club. Our idea consisted of some sort of fall fest along with a BBQ. At the fall fest we are planning on holding a skate and rail jam contest to which there will be prizes. Some other contests will be a pumpkin carving, costume, pumpkin pie, and guess the pumpkins weight contest. We are going to try and get ahold of some vendors and bands to participate in the fall fest. We want to end the fall fest with a bonfire. As the fall fest gets closer and a date is set, more information will be provided.
