Violation of a social rule or norm is defined as deviance. You can be deviant in a positive as well as a negative way. I went to the Wintergreen Ski Resort up in Nelson County to try out skiing for a day. While I was up there I observed the individuals who were present to see what the social norms were and what would be considered as deviant. Some individuals violated the social norms, while others didn’t violate them at all. On January 28th around 4 A.M., I met up with everybody who was going…

From double black diamonds to moguls, and glades. I can ski almost anything. However, it wasn’t always like that. Here is how I began my skiing career. In March of 2010, my brother Alec, got on a plane to Massachusetts, so we could visit our dad for the holidays. After a long plane flight, our father drove us to his house, but it was late, so we had to immediately pack my Dad’s blue Ford Explorer, and go to bed. The next day we hit the road early in the morning while it was still pitch black…

let you guys. So in order for us to rent the jet skis we had to take a test it wasn’t that difficult the man gave us a packet to study the rules and safety of riding. The man gave us about 10 min to study then we took the test we all passed it. So now we all headed off to the dock to get our life jacket. There was a different guy there and he was just going over some basic rules all over again for us. We were all going to rend individual jet skis but they were all taken an we wanted to rent…

chilly water. I look down and the depth of the water makes the bottom look black. My skis came off my feet during the fall so I swim around and collect them. Tubing gets boring after a while. I cannot do anything to challenge myself. After I get bored of water skiing on the two skis, I can slip my foot out and drop one of the skis. I wobble at first while I blindly try to find the foot slot for my right foot on the ski. When I slide it in I regain my balance. Then I go in and outside of the…

thin and cold. I could hear the raspy sound of skis against snow in the distance. The smell french fries from the restaurant next to me overwhelmed my nose the salty smell beckoning me to walk in. The restaurant looked alien in the surrounding snow. I decided that I was going to ski a black diamond, which is the hardest run in skiing. They usually are the steepest and they also usually have the most obstacles. I looked at the run I was about to ski, it was steep, snowy, and dark, the trees…

private lessons, why do we have to do public ski school?” “It is cheaper to have all you and your cousins do ski school than private lessons, plus you get to meet some new people.” New people meant letting them hangout out with us, which meant letting people join the Fat Four, which meant tearing down the cloud of exclusiveness that made the Fat Four. “This could not happen” we all thought. “We have to find a way out of ski school.”…

gather, I have come to a conclusion of what the purchase prices of Snow Mountain and Ski Town are, $357 920 and $373 173.32, respectively. Through adding the owner’s equity and goodwill for each company I was able to arrive at this amounts. I have further broken down the process I went through to make both ski merchandising company fairly comparable. Additionally, I have attached the balance sheets for Snow Mountain and Ski Town, hopefully all this information is helpful when deciding which…

As a child, I was never really set on what I wanted to be when I grew up. My ideas changed from being a doctor, lawyer, or even a policeman many times while I was young. The one career that really caught my idea was radiology. I thought that if I went into radiology, I would make mad bank and be set for life. The only thing that mattered to me in that time of life was having fun. If I wasn’t having fun, I’d be angry. When I was a young boy, I was full of energy and bouncing off the walls. I was…

What I love most about Iron Mountain is you’re never too far away from the wilderness. I routinely have deer, rabbits, and other woodland critters in my yard, and it’s not uncommon to come across bears, coyotes, or even moose on the way to exams. Outside of work, there is no shortage of camping, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hunting, and hiking opportunities. The Fumee Lake Natural Area, just outside of Iron Mountain, has miles of trails to enjoy scenic views, wild life and…

for about 10 years now) and I usually go up to Reno/Lake Tahoe, Nevada to go skiing at ski resorts…
