Since coming home from China I have moved to Colorado. I'm currently living in Silverthorne and working at Keystone. I'm in the Central Reservation office booking reservations for Vail and Beaver Creek. So if you are interested in booking a vacation for either of these resorts call 888.605.7576.
I moved up here around November 5th and started working on the 8th. I'm at just about a month and a half on the job. I work about 5 days a week, but have gotten in 20 days of riding so far! With the job I got a free pass for Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin. One of the coolest things Vail Resorts has started this year is EpicMix. When you buy a lift ticket or a season pass your lift ticket will have an RF chip implanted in it. With this chip they are able to track which lifts you get on, on the mountain and therefore calculate your vertical feet. It's pretty cool and at the office we have started a friendly competition to see who can get the most vertical feet this season. It makes for a fun discussion at work, but is also a great incentive to get on the mountain. I've currently boarded over 225,000 vertical feet. The one bad thing about the system is it is still in its Beta form and they are working out the bugs. A-Basin also doesn't participate in the RF reading. So my vertical feet is missing 2 days at A-Basin and a few runs here and there on other days.
I'm really enjoying my time up here! I love seeing the mountains everyday.
More to come...
