This weekend we all worked together at the Nordic Marathon at Bretton Woods. We got to shovel on the first day because there wasn't much snow on the trail but there was plenty of snow off the trail. The second day we got to set up fencing, direct the racers, and give the racers food and beverages.
From a sustainability perspective, the Nordic department is financially sustainable. Bretton Woods uses its golf course for its nordic trails so that the golf course can be used year round and bring in revenue.
The Nordic Center offers a beneficial service to its users. Cross country skiing is great exercise and the lodge offers services such as rentals, lessons, and use of the trail system.
While safety is important, there are not many injuries in cross country skiing. However, in a race, some people tend to get competitive and the starting line sometimes brings injuries. Luckily, there were no injuries in the start of the race over the weekend.
Nordic benefits the customers because it is for the customers. It gives customers a great opportunity to get outdoors and get some exercise.
Nordic benefits the employee by giving them a job. There are also nordic instructors that probably enjoy teaching something they are passionate for.
Nordic benefits the owners because it is an easy way to make money. By charging for passes, rentals, and lessons, they have an opportunity to bring in a lot of revenue with minimal expenditures. Nordics expenditures only include groomers and labor wages, among a few other things.
