Help... park manager

[DR.SHRED]

im doing a report for school and i need to know what kinda schooling you need and what kinda degree you need if you do need one.

i was skiing yesterday so didnt do it then and its due tomarrow.+k for help thanks

 

[pmw]

pm parkbuilder or nashobaparks, i know while in college he worked to build and groom killi parks
probably just business school

i would imagine having a degree in some kind of physics would help.

 

[hanksy]

My guess would be some experience and a connection.

it all depends on the parks you're managing...park shapers usually have no special requirements besides maybe experience...
park manager; especially in the bigger parks also get to deal with safety issues and design of huge jumps and pipes ....
so my guess is that park "managers" would require some sort of higher education besides just experience...
but hey, actually i don't know a thing about it.....

first of all, there is now a in tomorrow. second of all, maybe you should have started earlier

 

[I_Am_Mod]

*no

yikes, maybe one should get their own spelling down before the start to correct others.

 

[*Nickdel*]

you can get a degree in mountain management.

 

[caucasian_chad]

Depends on where you are. Here in the Midwest you don't need to know anything.

 

[An10a_Eng]

son of a bitch! but in my defense, there are no spelling errors in that post

 

[I_Am_Mod]

(now - w) = no = correct

 

[DR.SHRED]

what kinda clases would you have to take in high school that would help you get into a collage with mountain managment

 

[noname..]

that is a word choice error, not a spelling error.

 

[*Nickdel*]

uh like intro to business classes, marketing. those are were the only two my school offered

 

[.catierob]

outdoor recreation

or maybe even some sort of engineering major

 

[Gnarshred]

I would recommend trying to get at least straight D's in all your classed if you want to get into that hard of a program.

But seriously, like 90% of the people in the ski industry don't have degrees. Who you know is much more important than what you know in this industry.

In the bigger parks you deffiently need lots of experience, prolly hydrolics for the snow-cats and maybe some sort of managing class. Ive been building jumps since i was 5 and it seems they hire ppl just looking for a job

Spelling college correctly can't hurt.

 

[DR.SHRED]

any more please
