sustainability

I thought over all the project at the Lyndon outing club went good. There was a lot communication between groups and during the situation test, where my group used every bodies knowledge to figure out a best positive out come. For our situation my group had an old retired couple from souther NH going to Bretton Woods on an package deal during the week , in mid January. We went through the stages of who and where the couple will in counter on their trip. The problem we in countered how ever was it rained the one day during their trip. Instead of sending them home with half their money we decided that to have them spend a day in the spa, half off, to accommodate their lift ticket for the day. I thought instead of loosing the guests we could give them a little brake and in the end they stay a little bit longer, spend a little more money, and in the end have a good time over all. Sustainability is an important part of the mountain dealing with long term decision that will latter help the mountain. Our group's main effort was to focus on saving the Lyndon Outing Club some money to help it in the future. We looked at the fuel cost, the cost it would take to scrap the metal around the club and finally we decided to focus on electricity. First decision we made was to change the all the light bulbs on the ski slope. Every day the run the lights on the slops it cost them 150 dollars a night, not that bad but they could do better. If we installed energy efficient  light bulbs then their bill would be cut in half, saving their money for something else. It's still a good plan but we do need the money for this to happen and thats were marking and events comes in.
Another thing The Lyndon Outing club is one of the last ski town mountains in Vermont. There used to be Over 150 mountains in Vermont, most of them were local ski town mountains, now there is less then 50. Lyndon Outing clubs is one of the last and i though that is a good marking tool because people always like to see one of the last.
