bretton woods rentals

rentals was very busy on saturday. there are many people who want to ski but dont have their own equitment or forget their own equitment. this is where rentals come into play. they are very substainable. once again sean doll was late. again! they he stole a donute from the bretton woods rental employees. also he slammed the roof box cover on my fingers and laughed about it because he thought it was funny. he almost cut my fingers off. but i was very glad we got to sleep in on friday. i would have died if i was in rentals for 2 days. there was so much to day and it was swarmed with people. fun times in the park after that though.

bretton woods

fun shanagans at bretton woods this weekend. did some good skiing but not as much as i would like to have done. sean doll was late on saturday and messed up our entire day!!!! does the ten minute rule apply outside of the classroom as well as in it? racing zipline was fun and would love to do it again. learned things in guest relations but couldnt do much because i dont work there and dont know the answers to the questions. felt awkward when there was a long line and i kept thinking that if i was in the lne and i saw somebody standing behnd the desk doing nothing i would be very upset and a discruntled guest. kathryn was great and was really fun to work with.thats about it.

burke and loc

burke was sweet today. they got about 4 inches of snow at the base and had a nice whale back to build a jump off of. had a blast. learned a new backflip and am really close to locking down rodeo flips. good day for progression. the presentations at loc were presentations. not going to say they were interesting because i was tired and cold. but they did need to be done. glad the reps from the mountains were there and hopefully i will get to work in the areas that i would like to during spring practicum. i also want to ski these mountains again.

bretton woods

bretton woods is sweet. i was really looking forward to zip lining. it was number 1 on my list for this fall practicum. unfortunatly sean thought it would be fun to take us into the room, make us think that we were going to go zip lining and then punch us in the face. thanks sean. you runied my fall practicum because we didnt go zip lining. but the resort was cool and the hotel was cool. im looking forward to going there in the winter. it will be interesting to see how bretton woods operates compared to stowe.

2nd day at stowe

second day at stowe was tough. we raked leaves for a couple hours. it was work that needed to be done but it still sucked. theres got to be a better way to deal with it. anways, i guess its a job for your low paid employees, college students, or who ever will do it. once again would have liked a voucher pass for the maual labor that we did. or even some sandwiches for lunch. new lift was cool to see. it came out very well and looks great. never new how they did their tests until i saw them using the water jugs. clevar because it simulates movement that a reg person would do. must suck to fill and unload the buckets of water though.

burke

long short day at burke. put 162 pads on the chairs. that lift sucks, im so glad they have a new one. i never went to the top of burke because of that damn lift. just to damn long and cold. i guess season passes are up signifigantly because of the new chair they put in. many people complained saying great mountain, great people, when you get a faster chair i will come back. guess the mountain new what they had to do.

Jay Peak

jay was cool, and it was very cool to see the indoor water park. its interesting how much they are adding to that resort when they cant handle a huge crowd and many people do not make the drive up there. it reminds me of sugarloaf. a great mountain in the middle of nowhere. but the hard hat tour was sweet and i wish i could afford to vacation there. interesting that they put the outlets in upside down to code. i would have figured that a brand new building would be built excatly to specs with nothing overlooked. also, kindof a brainfart with how they did the plexi glass in the hockey rink. you would think they would soften up the boards and make the glass easy to change instead of having it sealed with gaskets.
