We conducted surveys to see what the audience’s expectations are and what level of care they

wish to receive.

C. Users of Evaluations:

We understand that many users could use and benefit from our evaluation. However, Utah

Olympic Park Ski Patrol management is the number one user of our evaluation, because they are

the ones who can make changes and understand the program the best. Also, the audience could

have some interests in using our evaluation to see if they will be receiving the adequate care and

if they should be worried about their health and safety. Here is a list of the evaluation users

ranked from higher to lower:

1. Utah Olympic Park Ski Patrol Management.

2. Utah Olympic Park Legacy Foundation.

3. The legacy foundation supervises all programs at the Park Center, they could use our

evaluation to see how the Ski Patrol program of the Aerial freestyle jumps is working.

4. Mountain operation manager: Jamie Kimball.

5. Since she manages different mountain ski resorts, she could compare our program to others

and give us great feedback.

6. The program audience.

From the audience, mostly the athletes since they make up about 50% and they do more risky

and high jumps, therefore they are at higher risk of injuries. They would be the most interested in

our evaluation to ensure an adequate level of treatment and have a safe environment to do their

jumps.

The ski patrol management would like to use our evaluation to know if the program is

functioning adequately, does it have a good flow, and how is their response time comparing to

similar programs. Meanwhile, the Audience would like to know if their health and safety are

fully addressed at the park, if the care that they will be receiving is adequate enough.

They also want the athletes and the juniors to provide a medical history report, this will improve

the quality of care and reduce time of treatment onsite.

Describe the Program:

Reason for being: This type of sport is very risky and dangerous, people who perform the

jumps are at higher risk for life threatening injuries. Therefore, the presence of ski patrollers is

necessary to deliver care when needed.
