Bretton Woods

On Thursday the 28th our class took a trip to Bretton Woods ski area. When we arrived we met James the ski services manager. He gave us a little background about the area and a nice tour around the lodge. We got to see the new rock climbing wall they installed which was really awesome! Next we went to the maintenance building and learned a little bit about their snow making. I learned that snow making is a lot more complicated than i thought. After that we went back and talked to James again about guest services and what he does as his job. he talked about how he pretty much gets paid to listen to upset guests. I thought his information was very good and i knew what he was talking about because being a cashier and hostess at Denny's i get the same thing. I would really like to do my practicum at Bretton woods next semester so that i can work with James in customer service because i love helping people. After we were done talking, we took a shuttle over the the mount Washington hotel. I learned this hotel was built in 1902 and there are many famous people that stayed there over the years like Babe Ruth and such. I also learned that Thomas Edison put in the electricity for the place years ago. That was soo cool!! Overall it was such a good informative day and i cannot wait to go back hopefully!

  1. Haha!!! I really liked the staff they were all extremely nice. I Found what Sean said true; everyone must work together in order for a ski resort to run smoothly. One things goes wrong everyone's in it together.
