Jay peak week 4....its the final countdown

This weekend at Jay i was both in the Water park and in the ice haus. First i was in the Pump house water park, this was awesome. For the first half of the day i sat in and observed as well as participated with a lifeguard safety/training course. This day in the course the group went over every ride/slide in the park as well as go over how each of them worked. the second half of the morning the group was practicing first aid procedures through the park, this was intense. I wast aware of how many different types of rescues there actually were. The second half of the day I was able to walk the park with the MOD or Manager on duty. this job may be the most important in the park. The manager is in charge of making sure everyone is at the right location, crowd control, ride resets, and injury reports. This was a very crazy part of the day. I watched a man injure his neck on the flow rider and within seconds he was already in the care of the very talented lifeguards being sent to first aid where i was able to follow and watch the entire first aid process. This process was very calm and controlled, the guards numerous hours of training paid off and set a great example for the pump house in general. On Saturday i was in the ice house for the day. this was a fun day. I handed out rentals, ran the register, rode the Zamboni, and put nets and pucks on the ice. my favorite event out of this day was riding and help operate the Zamboni. this 250,000 dollar machine is all electric and has a pretty fancy garage where it has its maintenance done to it. On the terms of sustainability, all the snow that is scrapped off the ice gets dumped into a melting pit where it is put back into the tank on the Zamboni. this process was pretty amazing.
