Well, I was offered both jobs I applied for at Purgatory and I decided to go with the ticket checking job over the lift-operator position. In the end, ticket checking seemed like a smaller, more tight-knit department. I think I'll have some great opportunities there to get to know the team and interact with all the other people at the resort--not to mention free skiing at Purg, Telluride, and about ten other resorts in this area!
I'm looking forward to the opportunity for relationship with this group of people as well as the chance to be part of a culture that is pretty foreign to me. I went into a snowboard shop the other day and it was surreal--like walking into a surf shop, except it was all snowboards. It's so funny to think back to my Pacific Wave days where I did my best to sell snowboards to people when I actually used a snowboard less than five times a season. This year I'll be in the snow on the mountain a mimimum of 60 days!

Free skiing in Telluride? I'm there. I've never skied, but at least if I break my legs I can say, "Dude, it was free. Push my wheelchair."
