On friday i got to work with Jack in the maintenance shop and i helped do an oil change and lube job on a groomer. On Saturday i hung out with Tim in the morning and then did some guest service things in the after noon like take pictures of people with burkie the bear. i will focus my 6 questions on maintenance for this blog.
Sustainability -- The maintenance shop is environmentally sustainable because they recycle all of their used oils and any bit that gets spilled on the floor is cleaned up quickly.
Service - They keep the groomers and other equipment in good repair so that the mountain can offer groomed trails. With out regular maintenance the groomers would fail and not work.
Safety - This is a big thing in the maintenance shop because you are working with a lot of dangerous tools. They require eye protection when working with tools and proper footwear because the floor is very slippery from the snow melting off the groomers.
The consumer benefits because with out proper maintenance on equipment the machinery would break and then the snow surface would be worse than it already is this year.
The employee benefits because its a year round job. they must repair other machinery like tractors and chainsaws in the summer.
The owner benefits because with proper maintenance repair costs will be lowered, but they do spend a big chunk of money in maintenance.
Good job. I always like the way you break it down for the reader.
