Coronavirus and Skiing

[Brownski]

More seriously, if you really love to ski, working in the ski business is even more insane than it is for regular people.

Wrong.

Top shack sucks. Bumpin chairs is where it’s at. Do it.

I like people but not being around lots of em.

 

[JTG]

Wrong.

I do think it’s a double edged sword, being passionate about something and working in that industry. When you really care you see a lot more of what is broken in the field than those who don’t really have a connection or give a whit.

I understand the idea but hear me out. Working at a hill is awesome, especially on the operations side. It’s too bad it pays so poorly in most cases but being on the hill before and after operating hours is very cool. Missing first tracks on a powder day may suck but it’s a privileged objection. The average person doesn’t get to blow off work cause it snowed 100 miles away. At least a liftie will know a few likely stashes to hunt down on his lunch break while I’m trying to sell orange flavored Irish whiskey in Mount Vernon.

This made me laugh.

Man, when is the next season coming?I just went back to season 1 and started watching again. I need more Letterkenny.

 

[tirolski]

I need more Letterkenny.

Yup. It ain’t far as the crow flies and is similar to parts of The Upstate.

A lot of people in the ski industry don’t ski. I was always amazed by that but they make the best workers. I missed a big opportunity for advancement once when a GM asked me why I was there and my reply was to ski. At least I was honest.

 

[Ripitz]

Actually my reply was, “I’m here to rip the mountain”. That probably didn’t help either.

What didn’t the GM understand Ripitz?
Seems understanable.
