Week 5

On Tuesday we meet at the LOC and talked about many things. We discussed one new innovation from every group that we found out about at the trade show at the summit. They were very interesting. We also had to pay attention at the trade show because we had to write a paper on the people that we talked to. Thursday was interesting. We met up with Sandy in Franconia and we talked about the the New England Adapted Sports Partners of the North Country and everything they are about. They bring disabled people skiing, hiking, biking, and much more. Then we were about to use some of the bikes that they use to bring people on bike rides. It was fun to ride around in those things. Then Logan flipped over Alec which was funny. Over all it was a nice trip.

Week 4

Week 4 was very busy. On Tuesday we took a trip to Attitash which was interesting. At first we split up and half of us went to do registration and the other half to help Nick set up some stuff. We got back together got registered and then had lunch. Then we went into sections. Which was different from the last time I was there because last time we saw a key note speaker first and then went into sections. The sections that I went to were kind of boring but I was able to get some information out them. Then we went to the trade show. Despite my jealousy of everyone having good beer I went and talked to many people about snowmaking equipment, lifts, new ski boot technology, marketing. Thursday we took a trip to Bretton Woods to help set up for reach the beach. Again we were split up and I had to help put up banners and do some other things .

 

Week 3

Week 3 was kind of laid back. Tuesday we all forgot to do our action plans so we all met and then went to finish the action plans. Thursday we just talked about trips next week and what to be prepared for and to also think about some questions to ask people at the Summit.

Week 2

We did not go on any trips during the second week but we did do some planning for the events that we are going to be in charge of. On Tuesday we got into our groups and started to plan the events out on paper. Then all the groups got together and met with the other groups to see who was taking care of what. So after that we had a pretty good understanding of how things were going to happen, but nothing ever goes by how it is planned. Then on Thursday we were given scenarios of people coming to ski resorts and what they would be doing and what departments they would be seeing throughout the day. Then we were given a twist in the story and we were asked how we would handle the situation.
