Jay Peak Week 2

This weekend at Jay, i was placed in the water park, Nordic center and the Ice haus. The water park really does not deal with sustainability because of how much water they are using to keep it going. the only way i could see it being sustainable is because they reuse the water over and over again. The water park deals with service by giving the guests somewhere else to go when the are not on the slopes. Everyone in the water park is also very friendly and helpful to the guests. They deal with safety by having life guards everywhere and also have a backboard and a first aid kit on both sides of the water park. the water park benefits the guests again by giving them another fun attraction to go to when they are at Jay Peak. It benefits the employee by giving them a nice warm environment to work in =P The water park benefits the owner by making them lots of money. The next department i was in was the Nordic center. One way the dealt with sustainability there was with the coffee. Instead of dealing with individual creamer packets they used one cup for the whole day. This helps lower the amount of plastic wasted. Nordic deals with service by giving older and younger people who cannot downhill ski the opportunity to get out and get exercise. the deal with safety by providing headlamps during the night tours so everyone can see. Nordic benefits the customer because it gives them another activity to do while at Jay. It benefits the employee because the get to ski or snowshoe whenever they want. It benefits the owner by giving them more variety to their resort. The last department i was in was The Ice Haus. I did not like it here because i seriously sat and did NOTHING. The guy i was supposed to meet was not there. The only way i could see them dealing with sustainability was by recycling their cans. They deal with service by offering rent able equipment to guests. The deal with safety by giving out helmets to skaters. It benefits the guests by giving them another activity to do at the mountain. It benefits the employee by giving them a salary. It benefits the owner by having foreign hockey teams come which might have never and experience Jay Peak.
