  • Socially Constructed Environmental Issues and Sport: a Content Analysis of Ski Resort Environmental Communications Sam Spector
    Socially Constructed Environmental Issues and Sport: A Content Analysis of Ski Resort Environmental Communications Sam Spector, B.Sc. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Sport Management) Under the supervision of Chris Chard, PhD & Cheryl Mallen, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario Sam Spector © January, 2012 Abstract Due to the impact of sport on the natural environment (UN, 2010), it is important to examine the interplay between environmental issues and sport (Hums, 2010, Mallen & Chard, 2011; Nauright & Pope, 2009; Ziegler, 2007). This research content analyzed 82 ski resort environmental communications (SRECs). These communications were rated for their prominence, breadth, and depth using the delineation of environmental issues provided by the Sustainable Slopes Program (SSP) Charter. This data was compared to the resorts’ degree of environmentally responsible action as rated by the Ski Area Citizens’ Coalition (SACC). An adaptation of Hudson and Miller's (2005) model was then used to classify the ski resorts as inactive, reactive, exploitive, or proactive in their environmental activities. Recommendations have been made for standardization and transparency in environmental disclosures and an environmental management system to aid ski resorts in moving from ad hoc processes to a systematic and comprehensive framework for improving environmental performance. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Chris Chard, Dr. Cheryl Mallen, and Dr. Craig Hyatt. Their support and guidance has been truly invaluable. Because of them I am not only proud of the final product but have also found the process to be exciting and rewarding.

  • Loyalty Programs Hit the Ski Hills Industry Analysis from Ideaworks
    Issued: December 3, 2004 Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Powder and Points – Loyalty Programs Hit the Ski Hills Industry Analysis from IdeaWorks The ski industry embraces airline-style frequent customer programs at 11 of the 20 largest U.S. ski areas. Frequent-skier programs offered by major ski areas are far more generous and consumer friendly than their airline industry counterparts: • Squaw Valley offers a free lift ticket for every four purchased - - an amazing return of 25%. • The PEAK Rewards program associated with Breckenridge Ski Resort allows up to 8 family members to pool their points into one account. • PEAK Rewards also allows the exchange of points and airline miles with Frontier’s EarlyReturns frequent flier program. • The Vertical Plus program offered by the Northstar-at-Tahoe ski area is most unusual because its members accrue benefits based upon the vertical feet on ski runs taken by its members. Each program has its unique qualities – - yet they are very similar on the issue of reward restrictions. Leaving the inventory restrictions and black-out dates of the airline industry behind, these frequent skier programs allow members to redeem rewards for free lift tickets on the busiest of holiday weekends. Where the programs seem to lag their airline-industry counterparts is in areas involving bonus partners, co-branded credit cards, elite customer recognition and year-round participation. Frequent-Skier Programs at the 20 Largest U.S. Ski Areas IdeaWorks reviewed the frequent-skier programs associated with the 20 largest U.S. ski areas as determined by “2003 season skier visits” data compiled by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA).
