SKI

SROM 180 Ski Area Field Study

Each of these 3 numbered courses consists of a five day field trip to visit ski areas. Although venues change from year to year, the field trips typically include visits to major ski resorts and regions throughout western Canada. The purpose of these visits is to talk with ski area managers and supervisors, on location, about their duties and responsibilities and to inspect operating departments at each ski resort visited. This trip provides an excellent opportunity for candid conversations between students and ski industry personnel. Students inspect real facilities and equipment such as detachable chairlifts at these resorts also. These 3 field trips are an excellent opportunity for students to arrange potential jobs for their work semester and post-graduation careers.
