I identified the human changes of man made snow and ski lifts. Man made snow is snow that is made in large machines and projected onto the slopes to increase snow cover. the ski lift is a power pole looking contraption that has chairs attached to a cable that goes up the slope. The artificial snow influenced my experience because I was able to ski without hitting grass patches and other obstacles. The ski lift influenced my experience by allowing me to ride up the hill faster to get more runs in for the day.

In the past, cultural burning was done for hunting to flush out animals and also to manage the land. It was done by lighting fires in a strategic checkerboard pattern to burn parts of the landscape and leave the other parts for animals. Today, we still do controlled burns (albeit inefficiently and not often enough) in order to reduce the fuel load and allow the native plants' seeds to germinate thanks to the heat of the flames. Today, a helicopter drops the flames in the desired area, which is a much less controlled method that the past but is still nonetheless effective.

A marine deckhand works on a boat and helps manage the deck of the boat. They often work with anchors, fishing gear and much more equipment. Their perspective on the outdoors is as a resource, was they are often taking fish and other seafood for consumption and using it to gain money and employment. Technically, there are no prerequisites for this job. However, spots are limited and having experience on watercrafts and boats in the past is very important to get selected for this job. If you don't have it already, you will be trained in marine safety certificates.

Ski Instructor:

A ski instructor teaches people how to ski and improve their technique on skiing. They often teach people of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders ect. They see the outdoors as a gymnasium and this is because they are constantly honing their skills in the snow and teaching others. Prerequisites for this job are a working with children check (if applicable) and experience skiing.

Right image: Whiteout conditions.

The risks of a blue bird day are sunburn and even heatstroke, as people are often expecting extreme cold and are surprised by the sun. The snow reflects sunlight, which also increases the amount of UV rays that a person is being hit by and increases the likely hood of sunburn. To mitigate these risks, use effective layering and take off layers if needed, and be sure to apply ample amounts of sunscreen. The dangers of White out Conditions are reduced visibility, sudden temperature drops and getting lost. Other skiiers and snowboarders are barely visible through the darkness and this can lead to an increased frequency of crashes. The colder temperatures can cause hypothermia if the person is caught unaware by the sudden cold. As the visibility is so low, it is much easier to get lost in the Whiteout conditions. To mitigate these risks, move slower down the runs and follow the lift/ask a liftie for directions to get lost. Also, use effective layers to keep warm and insulated against the cold.

1. The cause of the incident is likely due to the lack of layering that said friend is using or the friend getting wet and cold.

2. Get any wet clothes off the person and then (if available) put dry clothes on them. If possible, wrap them in a rescue blanket and give them a hot drink. Find shelter and call for help from an Adult or ski patrol.

3. Understanding how quickly the conditions can change and how important layering is in keeping the body at a decent temperature allows you to adjust the amount of layers you have on to regulate your temperature. Bringing along a rescue blanket can also allow you to warm someone up.
