Updated Planning Outline

Project: Determining possible ways of improving the developments planning of Sun Peaks Resort.

Method: To determine how the development of Sun Peaks could be a more sustainable resort, items of the project that will be looked at are:

1) What are the everyday services located at the resort for the residence to get there daily needs?

2) Who is the main target for this resort to maintain its stability?

3) Is there motivation for people to use the transportation to, from, and around the resort?

4) What are some of the green practices applied to Sun Peaks?

5) Do the consumers of the resort have an influence on the sustainability of the resort?

6) Case studies through out other bigger more successful ski resorts will be researched, such as Whistler BC, and Vail Colorado. These will be looked at and compared to Sun Peaks to see how they differ.

Special Problem: A huge problem with this project will be finding proper information. Most of this information will be coming directly from individuals around the community and from other more successful ski resorts.

Also: Secondary problems could consist of:
1) Were there any non-green practices to help speed up the process of developing the resort,
2) Weather or not the locals living at the resort have made it a sustainable one, and
3) How could the resorts planning be made more profitable.
