Last day at bretton woods

My last day at bretton woods was pretty fun! I first started off the day by snowboarding till noon. The snow was very heavy, wet, and sticky but became better throughout the morning. After lunch we sat down with james noyes our advisor and talked about what we learned the last 4 weekends, and what we would have liked to do. I learned alot in each department and enjoyed my time at bretton woods. one thing i would have liked to do was to pick 2 department of my choice and work in each for 2 weekends. At the end of the day I went tubing. In the future i would enjoy working at bretton woods and hope that it does happen =]

Bretton woods week 4

During the fourth week at bretton i worked with ski patrol. I think this was by far my favorite department besides lift ops. I really enjoyed helping the guys set up for the big air competition I also enjoyed learning how they operated on a day to day basis. I learned alot through ski patrol. One way in which ski patrols relates to service is by helping the guests if there injuried, lost, need help down the slopes, and etc. One way in which they practice sustainability is by reusing old trail marker signs and practice a safe environment by properly disposing of band aids and other used medical equipment. One way in which ski patrol practices safety is by wearing germ free gloves if there is any blood incidents, and by making sure everyone is okay on the mountain. There day to day goal is safety. This also means closing of trails that might be dangerous that day. One way in which ski patrol benefits the customer, is by providing them aid if the get injured, lost, need help down the slope, and etc.... One way in which ski patrol benefits the employees, is by giving giving them time to enjoy the outdoors on top on work as well. they can ski while working. Although the pay is alittle less then most departments there still making money and are enjoying there jobs. One way in which the owner benefits from ski patrol, is by service. The owner is able to aquire ski reports for the day and can rely on ski patrol for injuries and cases where someone might be trying to sue the resort for an injury. Ski patrol benefits in many other ways as well.

Bretton woods week 3

Week three was awesome in hobbits. I gave some private and group lessons are learned how the devepartment operated on a day to day basis. In the morning we had to sign in children of all ages and set them up with gear if they didnt already have them. For those who did we just sent them in the back room to play until 10am. At about 9:30, we brought all the kids to the bathroom then dressed them up to play outside. This was pretty much the day until closing when we had to take down all of the race course toys from outside. Giving lessons was my favorite part of the day. One way in which hobbits support sustainability is by recycling the kids name tags and using eco-friendly paper plates for the kids lunches. One way in which they support service is by providing ski/boarding lessons and a safe place adults to drop of there kids. one way in which hobbits supports safety, is by providing the kids with soft cushion like toys for outside. Staff also always makes sure the kids are bundled up warm for the outdoors. One way in which hobbits benefits the customer is by giving them lessons to learn how to ski/ board and a place to keep parents kids safe. One way in which it benefits the employees is that it allows the employees to meet some really nice and unique people. It also there source of income and whats better then playing with kids all day. One way in which it benefits the owner is because it brings in alot of customers which is a huge income or profit, and helps to give bretton woods a good name because of the many resources it provides. all in all i really enjoyed working with hobbits and the kids. I meet a really nice employee with whom i worked with for 2 day (kasey).
