last day at Bretton woods

friday was our last day at BW. had a lot of fun there but glad its over. so happy that i can wake up late and still make it to burke on time. on friday i rode with ben and sean. sean took us on a little tour of the mountain and brought us through some rocks. he also almost killed a kid who was standing in a very not smart place. killing kids while skiing is not very substainable for a mountain. people tend to frown when kids are involved. we also went to the very exciting sledding hill that we had to walk up. after one run of that i was over it. caught a ride back to the mountain in the back of tims pick up truck after he clocked out. enjoyed working the main event the most during my time there. good times were had.

last weekend at BW

i was in hobbits on friday. very nessecary program at a mountain. they make a lot of money giving lessions and teaching kids how to ski. by teaching kids how to ski they are creating future customers. also they give parents a reason to go if they have kids they dont want to ski with. just drop your kids off for the day and ski on your own. hobbits is like a baby sitter half the time. on saturday i was working in the park. i worked the main event competition and had a blast. loved shaping lips and jumps. parks draw people to the mountain. they give people new chalenging terain. they do cost money but i feel they make that back with skiier visits and competitions. i deffinatly feel they would be more substainable of the big jumps and features were made out of dirt during the summer so the mountain would not need to blow as much snow. it would cut down on the options in the park slightly but it would save money.

ski patrol bretton woods

ski patrol was very enjoyable at bretton woods. learned what each call means and what needs to be done to open and close trails. loved the fresh powder runs before the mountain opens to the public. its a very important job on the mountain but its not profitable. the mountain has to pay the patrolers and does not recieve any money in return. however the job does have to be done so it esential to have the patrolers at the mountain. i feel like its one of thoes jobs that has to be had but doent help profit. sean doll was late again on saturday again! ben set off a car alarm first think in the morning on friday. shanagans happened and good times were had.
