The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
Just wondered how many people on these forums are living or working at a resort this season.
I wish
Yeah i’m the same as Azz I WISH…..
I’ll be in Whistler again for the 2011/12 season.
I’m not really planning for any more seasons. And if I did, it would totally be somewhere in Canada or maybe Mammoth mountain near LA
I could but I am just not interested anymore.
I am such a city chick through and through. But I love the fact that I can escape to mountains anytime I want. Would love to be able to take more leave in winter. As much as I loved my seasons that I did do I also hated it just as much.
I liked Heavenly/South Lake Tahoe as it is not really that small of a town that I coped well enough.
But I escaped every chance I got. Whenever there was a space in a car I would go. Most preferred to ride on their days off.
The worst for me was living in Jindy and working at Thredbo - the thought of going up the mountain on my day off sometimes filled me with dread (especially if it wasn’t a powered day - which was never!)
But at the same time I have scrimped and saved to ski here and OS every year. I have friends who claim the LOVE skiing… but it has been 5 years since they have been etc etc.
Hey Oz, have you done any overseas seasons? Did you do a season in Tahoe? That would have been sick!
Yeah I worked at Heavenly the season Sonny Bono died (97/98).
Then I went up to Banff for the summer. I ran out of money and had to come home in Nov :-(
Then I went and worked at for Thredbo for almost a year.
Then got a “real” job before giving it all up to do one more season at Winter Park in Co. Then went to London for a couple of years. And here I am
Same as Jeremy, will be back in Whistler for the next winter season - couldn’t do a season locally I don’t think after having done 2 overseas now.
Nice one, Oz.
See you over there, finney!
I did a season in Jindy - working in Jindy so every chance I got, I was up the mountain.
But after doing 1 season here, I wouldn’t do another I don’t think.
But if I got stuck with no job coming up to a ski season, I would jump on a plane if I could work in Canada
