SKI

SROM 290 Field Study

This course consist of a five day credit bearing field trip to visit ski areas. Although venues change from year to year, this field trip normally includes a visit to Whistler/Blackcomb Ski Resort. The purpose of these visits is to talk with ski area managers and supervisors, on location, about their operations and to inspect those operations. These trips provide an excellent opportunity for candid conversations with ski industry personnel from general managers to line staff, as well as an excellent opportunity to examine facilities and equipment. Students have the opportunity to engage in screening interviews with resorts visited on this final major field trip.
