Ski Area Operations Faculty.

International Affiliation

Colorado Mountain College teachers consulted with Christchurch Polytechnic in New Zealand to develop the first ski industry job and career training program for that country. The result is an international partnership between Colorado Mountain College and Christchurch Polytechnic. Our professors have travelled to consult on projects in China and Russia. They've also met with manufacturers in Austria, Germany and throughout North America. Ski Area Operations faculty have created a partnership with Sanko Gakuen Tokyo Resort and Sports College in Japan. The two schools will share faculty and students, adding intenational perspective to the Colorado Mountain College program. The Sanko Gakuen program concentrates primarily on snowboarding.

Support Services Classes in the Ski Area Operations program are small. Guest lecturers supplement the instruction of experienced, professional faculty. You will be exposed to current trends and practices through campus seminars offered by Colorado professionals. The faculty stay informed about industry developments through membership and participation in the National Ski Patrol, National Ski Areas Association, Ski Area Vehicle Maintenance Institute, Rocky Mountain Lift Association, and Colorado Ski Country USA.
