(
Ethnography is a qualitative research design aimed at exploring cultural phenomena. The resulting
field study or a
case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group.
An ethnography is a means to represent
graphically and in writing, the nature of a people.)
What would it include? Possible research opportunities?
Obviously there's the upper-middle/upper-class white males still in High School College. There's the professional ski bums working resorts or other menial occupations to support their hobby. There's the rasta crowd. There's the working adults who slave away at corporate jobs just for the weekend trip to the hill. There's the few females who are outnumbered probably 5 to 1.
But underneath it all there is the enjoyment of skiing.
I'm sure there's more than that. What do you guys think?
