Replying to Ski Applications in Civil Engineering...

So I am currently a Civil Engineering major at UPitt, and was recently trying to think of ways to apply my major to skiing. I am thinking of taking some geotechnical electives in the spring that I think may relate, but other than designing lodges and lifts (structural stuff) I couldn't think of too many applications.

Does anyone here have a CE degree and work in the ski resort business? If so I'd love to hear some advice, I'm trying to take my dad's advice and think about my future.

BTW, first post on NS! Glad to be here, I couldn't think of a better source to ask this question to.
