Jay Peak Pump House

I have worked the nordic center, ice haus, customer service, food and beverage, and hotel. But i have learned the most after spending the day in the pump house water park. I have worked at a ski area for 4 years now and have learned about my previous areas of managerment. The water park was a new addition to my recreation management experience. I got to spend the day with Jason, one of the water parks supervisors. It was very interesting learning about the indoor water park energy consumption and efficiency. One thing they do is recycle the ice rink snow into the water park. Jay is also saving money by creating there own chlorine. The Indoor water park keeps a consistent 85 degrees and has an assortment of rides and attreactions. They have two tube slides,  two body slides, a flow rider, a aqua loop, hot tubes, activity pool, kiddy pool, and the longest indoor lazy river. My favorite ride is the flow rider. Its fun to surf in vermont, plus it rips everyones clothes off. The day i worked the pump house the first thing i did int he morning was test the aqua loop. The water park was designed by chris who also designed hurricane hobor at six flags. The water park looks perfect but has run into some problems that needed to be fix. For example the Thursday before my day in the pump house i was told that the water park reached over 110 degrees due to the sun baking on the roof. The way the staff handled the heat was with the retractable roof. They opened the roof and cooled the park down. I also got to spend some time in the arcade. The arcade seems like a really simple job but really cool to play arcade games all day. The new Pump House water park at Jay Peak was a great addition and i can see Jay making a great profit from it.
