We return to Marble Mountain in Newfoundland and Labrador today. Gary meets up with a group of students learning how to telemark ski. They’re in the Adventure Tourism Program at the College of the North Atlantic in Corner Brook. It’s a two-year course designed to prepare students for a challenging career in the outdoor tourism industry. Western Newfoundland is the perfect location for a program like this with access to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, numerous National Historic Sites, and breathtaking natural wilderness and ocean environments. The students come from across Newfoundland and as far away as Saskatchewan and Cancun, Mexico. Gary talks to them and to program instructors Dean Howell and Jeff Martin.
