Tahoe is sick. It is probably one of the most incredible places to live in the world. The weather is perfect. 20’s at night and 40’s every day. Sunny 300 days a year. Great snow, Great Mountains. It is hard to complain. This is a really great way to live a life.
I started my training yesterday. Yesterday was more classroom type stuff, but it was still pretty interesting, but also kind-of boring. Today was on snow, so we kind-of got to explore the hills a bit. That was also fun, because it was snowboarding, and snowboarding is great, but we pretty much just stuck to green runs, which is whatever. I am having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I am a Vail resorts employee. It is a great company to work for, but it is still a multi-billion dollar corporation, that is solely profit motivated, and they don’t try to hide it. Some of the things said during training make me really upset, too. Like for instance, they were proud of the fact that they raised their prices to keep lower income clientele out to improve the experience for their higher income clientele. I really can’t stand behind a company that takes pride in that, but I mean, it is a really great company to be a part of. Right now, I am really conflicted on that whole issue, and I am anxious to see how I feel about it as time goes on. I am sure it will be a fine experience over all, but yeah, those weird political beliefs of mine are always standing in the way.
I really like riding at Boreal. Night riding there reminds me of being home. Small resort. Local focused. Super great vibes all the time. I wish I could just work there, but it would probably be really silly for me to move all the way out here to ride a resort smaller than Boyne. That northstar season pass is a big deal for me. And they give me a lot of money.
I don’t feel like I have much to say. This is good. All is well. I live in the mountains. I snowboard every day. Sometimes I go to Reno which is a pretty fun little city. I am meeting people, a lot of nice God believing folk who really value community. Which is nice, because I really value community, and I want to value community with them. I hope I can find some non-god believing folk who also value community, because I really like being part of those communities too. I am working on this. It is an interesting project. Making friends in a new place is an interesting experience and something that I am still trying to figure out how to do. I am going to a lot of random shows and spending a lot of time and money at that food coop. I hang out with snowboarders a lot too, which is pretty cool, but I need more in my life than snowboarders.
This is a pretty weak blog post; I am a pretty weak blogger. But yeah, this is the latest on my life. Now you know.
